Norway’s Jarl Magnus Riiber defended his men’s normal hill Nordic combined title in a dramatic sprint finish at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf.
The 23-year-old won normal hill and team titles at the 2019 World Championships, while Riiber has proved the dominant force on the World Cup circuit over the past three seasons.
Riiber found himself with work to do after the ski jumping section of the event today, after placing third on 137.6 points.
The standings were led by Ryota Yamamoto on 143.1 with the Japanese athlete earning cushions of 20 and 22 seconds over his compatriot Akito Watabe and Riiber respectively heading into the 10 kilometre cross-country event.
