Riiber unstoppable! Lamparter finishes fifth
Jarl Magnus Riiber proved his supremacy in the Nordic Combined right at the start of the World Cup. The Norwegian won the compact competition on Friday ahead of the Germans Vinzenz Geiger and Julian Schmid. The best Austrian was Johannes Lamparter in fifth place. The other ÖSV athletes missed out on the top ten in Ruka, Finland.

Riiber was the strongest in this and therefore went into the 7.5 km cross-country course as the leader. After about half of the course, Lamparter, who had started with a 17-second deficit, caught up with the Norwegian. The Tyrolean then did a lot of leading work, but ran out of steam in the finish.
Other Austrians outside the top ten
"My feet let me down a bit at the end. I'm still missing a bit to be able to fight at the front. But it was a solid start, especially after the preparation I had," said Lamparter. In the preparation mentioned above, the Tyrolean had been struggling with inflammation in his knee and therefore came to Ruka with some catching up to do. Martin Fritz finished twelfth just ahead of Franz-Josef Rehrl, Thomas Rettenegger was 15th, while his brother Stefan, last season's overall World Cup runner-up, did not make it past 22nd place after an unsuccessful jump.
In the Individual Compact format, the cross-country athletes start with a fixed time interval. The competition will also be held at the 2025 World Championships in Trondheim.
