The result of the Nations Cup in Budapest was in stark contrast to that of Falsterbo for the Dutch jumpers. In the semifinals of the Longines EEF Nations Cup Series, TeamNL took victory with only clear rounds.
Starting for the Dutch team were Ruben Romp with ESI Toulouse (SIEC Livello), Lars Kersten with Chuck Marienshof Z (Colestus), Mans Thijssen with Joviality (Warrant) and Henk Frederiks with Impian D (VDL Bubalu). As the only team they managed not to make a single mistake and were thus the unapproachable winners of this semi-final.
The German team also set clear rounds in the first round but had some trouble with time, so they went into the second round with one penalty point, as did Hungary and Italy. The only other clear team at the time was Austria, who finished fourth due to four penalties in the second round. Both Germany and Hungary held on to that one penalty point and finished second and third, respectively.
