Shock moment for lampar: turbulent flight phase at the World Cup in Ruka!

At the competitions in Ruka, Finland, Johannes Lamparter caused excitement: the 23-year-old Austrian had great difficulty during his jump when he experienced a critical flight phase in the air. After a risky jump, Lamparter only landed at 106.5 meters and was therefore in a difficult location before the cross-country race. Despite the uncertain situation, he kept a cool head: "Today it was little fun," said Lamparter, but emphasized that he was not afraid: "Fortunately, you react subconsciously" and just wanted to land safely on both feet. Despite the unfortunate jump, he still took the solid fifth place on Friday after having to bleed in the preparation with a knee inflammation, which impaired his condition.

The first mass start round of the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup 2023/24 in Ruka started with an impressive race. Jarl Magnus Riiber set new standards with a record jump of 153.5 meters, and was able to surpass the old record by three meters. At the end of the race it was an exciting competition between Riiber, Vinzenz Geiger and Johannes Rydzek. Geiger grabbed second place, only 0.3 seconds after Riiber, while Lamparter took fourth place with a height of 134.5 meters and 152.2 points. The freezing temperatures of -17 degrees were another challenge at this exciting event. While Riiber triumphed, after a difficult jump, lamparter managed to achieve a respectable budget in cross -country skiing, as [krone.at] reported.

In an exciting race, the American Stephen Schumann was initially able to take the lead and showed a remarkable performance before pulling the shorter one to the surprise of the spectators at the end of the bike race. Vinzenz Geiger started the decisive sprint over the past ten kilometers and secured second place after Riiber, who now not only won the competition, but also his fourth Ruka tour title. Lamparter and his teammates like Stefan Rettenegger were still successful, which demonstrated the strength of the Austrian team.
