It seems Asadauskaitė adapted very well to the new format and took advantage of it to make an amazing season. Her name is the only one that is listed more than once in the top 10 list, with 3 records, including the top 2. From the 6 events, she had the best performance in the combined event in 4 of them, and once she was the second best of the field, that's really impressive. Medany, Gretchichnikova, Rimsaite, Boenisz, Fell and Samusevich also had a good season when it comes to the combined event. Chen's combined event in London was really impressive and third overall, enough to manage to win the title over Asaudaskaitė who had actually the best combined event run.
