Nordic Combined
Lamparter third in Riiber’s anniversary victory
Former world champion Johannes Lamparter took third place in Lillehammer on Saturday, the first podium finish of the season for Austria's Nordic combined athletes.
Top favorite and local hero Jarl Magnus Riiber celebrated his 75th individual success ahead of Germany's Julian Schmid and Lamparter. Lisa Hirner finished fifth in the women's compact competition, having finished third on Friday.
"I am megahappy"
The Norwegian defending World Cup title holder Ida Marie Hagen once again took victory by a large margin. The success of her compatriot Riiber in the classic Gundersen format was also superior after a clear jump lead. 37 seconds behind him, Lamparter stormed onto the podium from ninth place on the starting grid. However, the Tyrolean narrowly lost the final sprint for second place against Schmid. "I'm mega happy with the podium. It's going in the right direction. I worked well with Julian, thank goodness we got through and made it up on the last lap, he was one shoe size ahead of me," said Lamparter.
His ÖSV teammates Martin Fritz (8th) and Franz-Josef Rehrl (9th) also finished in the top ten. Stefan Rettenegger finished eleventh. His brother Thomas Rettenegger dropped back from third to 15th place in the cross-country race. The men will compete in another compact competition in Norway on Sunday. The women's next event is not until two weeks from now in Ramsau.
