At the “Olympic dress rehearsal” on the normal hill in the Alpensia Jumping Park in Pyeongchang , she achieved her number four win of the season. At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2017 in Lahti , she was next to Sara Takanashi as the biggest favorite, but had to admit defeat to Carina Vogt, like two years earlier. After the first run she was still in the lead. In the mixed team competition, she won the bronze medal together with Sara Takanashi, Taku Takeuchi and Daiki Itō, just like two years earlier. She won her fifth win of the season at the World Cup final in Oslo .
