Ruka World Cup in danger: Lamparter misses hat trick due to wind!
The Nordic Combined World Cup in Ruka had to be canceled due to strong wind conditions. This was announced on November 30, 2025. The competition, which marked the third World Cup competition this season, saw strong wind speeds of between eight and ten meters per second, which ultimately led to the beslissing. Race director Lasse Ottesen explained that under these conditions there was no fair competition to safely blast and evaluate the athletes, which led to the difficult decision of cancellation. oe24 reports that the next stop for the combiners is the individual competitions in Trondheim, which are scheduled to take place next weekend.
In the meantime, however, there have been some impressive performances in previous competitions. Johannes Lamparter, who triumphed in the first two competitions on Friday and Saturday, was unable to score a hat-trick as the diving part of the competition was canceled. After the cross-country skiing, Lamparter was lying like that nachrichten.at reported in seventh place and missed the chance to show his dominance in the Nordic combined.
Successes in cross-country skiing
An outstanding athlete of the day was Stefan Rettenegger, who won the mass start race over 10 kilometers in cross-country skiing. His victory represented a significant achievement for the team and lifted the atmosphere despite the disappointment of the cancellation of the diving competition. The cross-country skiing competition was held despite the windy conditions.
The cancellation of the third World Cup competition is a setback for the athletes who depend on continued success and important points in the overall ranking. Nevertheless, there is an opportunity for Lamparter and his colleagues to get back on track in Trondheim, where three individual competitions are scheduled, and possibly collect important points in the competition for the overall World Cup ranking. oe24 continues to lead the athletes as a beacon of hope in the upcoming competitions.
