Nordic World Ski Championships:
Men’s Nordic Combined – LIVE from 12 noon
Johannes Lamparter missed out on the podium in the individual Nordic combined event. The Tyrolean had to settle for fifth place, with gold going to Norway's Jarl Magnus Riiber.
Combined skier Johannes Lamparter missed out on his second medal in a short space of time in the compact competition at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim. One day after the bronze drama in the mixed team, the 23-year-old Tyrolean finished fifth on Saturday. The Norwegian jumping champion Jarl Magnus Riiber won the final sprint of a five-man leading group and won his tenth World Championship gold medal overall, the second at the current championships in Norway.
Riiber's compatriot Jens Lurås Oftebro (+0.8 sec.) won silver ahead of Germany's Vinzenz Geiger (+1.1). Lamparter (+5.3), who had started the 7.5 km long cross-country race in fourth place on the normal hill, ultimately ran out of energy in the battle for the medals. Stefan Rettenegger was unable to catch up with the leaders and finished eighth (+28.2), directly ahead of Martin Fritz (+29.0). Franz-Josef Rehrl had to settle for 14th place in the compact competition, which is new to the World Championships program.
Lamparter in the medal fight until the end
In spring-like temperatures at the Granåsen Skisenter, a five-man leading group formed as expected halfway through the race with Riiber, Julian Schmid (GER), Geiger, Lamparter and Ryota Yamamoto (JPN). At the end of the second of three laps, Oftebro and Jörgen Graabak also got into the medal decision, while Yamamoto had to let go.
On Friday, the mixed team of Lamparter, Rettenegger, Lisa Hirner and Claudia Purker had won the bronze medal. After a hard maneuver by Lamparter in the final sprint against Yamamoto, the Japanese lodged an appeal, and it was only after more than an hour and lengthy discussions that the medal was confirmed.
