Nordic combined: Riiber wins again, the World Cup reopens in Lahti

The Norwegian champion takes his revenge after the troubled Olympic Games in Beijing, taking a clear success in Lahti, which puts him back in the running for the conquest of the crystal ball. Place of honor for Vinzenz Geiger, who overcame Johannes Lamparter in the sprint, with Rehrl at the foot of the podium. Italy is bad, out of the points zone.

A victory never questioned and put on ice since the morning, with an exceptional jump that brought him to the lead with 8 "over Ryota Yamamoto, 39" over Rehrl and almost a minute over his direct rival for the conquest of the world cup: Johannes Lamparter. In the cross-country test he had no problems in taking advantage of Yamamoto and in keeping the Geiger-Lamparter couple at a distance, who tried to recover but had to settle for the remaining podium positions, with the German able to assert the superior displacement in the sprint and to precede the young Austrian. 45th career victory in the World Cup (Manninen is now only three points away), 9th season and a scalp that was missing from his glorious palmares. First success in fact in that of Lahti for Jarl Magnus Riiber, who recovers 40 points in the general classification in Lamparter who remains yellow bib with a margin of 107 lengths. Everything will therefore be decided in the last four races of the season, in the hope that they can all be played.
