Nordic combined: Riiber does not fight, comeback victory in Oslo and now the summit of CdM is very close

Third consecutive victory after the Olympic Games and World Cup ranking definitively reopened. Riiber wins, indeed dominates, even without the usual supremacy in the jump: great comeback in the bottom and fifth success in the Oslo-Holmenkollen fiefdom. Place of honor for Mario Seidl who preceded Jens Luraas Oftebro. The fight for the crystal ball will be decided in Schonach, where Manninen's record could fall.

New race, completely different tactical scheme than yesterday but same result: Jarl Magnus Riiber dominates, who rises to five victories in Oslo-Holmenkollen and to 47 in career in the World Cup. Now Manninen, who holds the record for success in the maximum circuit, is only one length and the overtaking could already take place at the end of the season in Schonach, where two individual races are scheduled. In the meantime, the norge phenomenon reached 49 successes in first-level events, bypassing Frenzel and pairing Manninen himself. With the three affirmations between Lahti and Oslo Riiber has also definitively reopened the race to the crystal ball. If yesterday Lamparter had limited the damage, today with the 8th place he lent the flank to the opponent and now the margin points are only 19.
