Austria's combinator heirs silver-dramatic World Cup decision!

At the Nordic World Ski Championship in Trondheim, there was a gripping competition that kept the audience in suspense. The Austrian team, consisting of Johannes Lamparter, Franz-Josef Rehrl, Martin Fritz and Fabio Obermeyr, secured the silver medal in the team competition. This result resulted in not only from its strong performance, but also from the disqualification of the Norwegian athlete Jörgen Graabak, whose jump was not evaluated due to inadmissible bonds. This made Austria second in an exciting duel over 4 × 5 kilometers, where they only had to give up Germany. According to the OE24 reporting, Austria celebrated the seventh medal in these title fights.

Germany, on the other hand, cheered on the first gold title in Trondheim. In the line -up with Johannes Rydzek, Wendelin Thannheimer, Julian Schmid and Vinzenz Geiger, the German Quartet showed strong performances even after Rydzek fell in a crucial phase. Her victory was made possible by Graabak's disqualification, since Norway went into cross -country skiing with a gap of over a minute. Sky Sport informed that with this triumph the Norwegian success series, which continued until 2023, came to an end. Nevertheless, the Norwegian team, led by Jarl Magnus Riiber, achieved a bronze medal with third place and thus maintained a certain tradition.

a competition of the extreme

The competition, originally planned for Thursday, was postponed to Friday due to stormy weather. Despite all the challenges, both Germans and the Austrian combiners were in top form. While Germany celebrated the golden triumph, Norway, traditionally strongly in this sport, had to accept a bitter setback. Riiber, who ends his career next season due to health problems, was able to claim a place in the medal ranks.
