Multiple world and Olympic champion Johannes Rydzek of Germany, Japanese former world and World Cup champion Akito Watabe and Italian great Alessandro Pittin ended their career and were to be sent into retirement with a special ceremony.

Hagen meanwhile rose from second after the jumping to first in the 5km race. She claimed a 12th season success 41.6 seconds ahead of American Tara Geraghty-Moats, who won a photo-finish for second place against Finland's Minja Korhonen.

The Nordic events at the Holemkollen were to be completed with women's and men's large hill ski jumping later on Sunday.
