Norway’s Jarl Magnus Riiber won his second competition in consecutive days at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Nordic Combined World Cup in Oslo.

The local hero secured his 47th individual FIS World Cup victory, his 11th this season.

The 24-year-old had finished eighth in the individual large hill/10 kilometres at Beijing 2022, a disappointing performance after he had led following the ski jumping only to be beaten by team-mates Jørgen Graabak and Jens Lurås Oftebro, who claimed the gold and silver medals.

He has bounced back well, however, winning the King’s Trophy at Holmenkollen yesterday.

Austria’s Mario Seidl led after the HS134 with 131 metres to earn 127.1 points in the morning and took the lead, meaning he set off first in the 10 kilometres cross-country race this afternoon.

Riiber was second after the ski jump with 121.5m for 116.4 points, setting off 43 seconds behind Seidl.

Another Austrian, Franz-Josef Rehrl, also started 43 seconds behind the leader.

The overall World Cup leader Johannes Lamparter, also from Austria, was back in 14th place after the jumping and started 98 seconds behind team-mate Seidl.

Seidl, 13th at Beijing 2022, could not take advantage of his lead and by a quarter of the way through the 10km race his advantage had been reduced to just 18.7 seconds after Riiber and Rehrl worked together to close the gap.

Riiber took the lead halfway through the race, a lead he steadily increased to 17.8 seconds by the time he crossed the line ahead of Seidl, who rallied to clinch second place.

Oftebro put in a strong second half to clinch third place.

Finland’s Ilkka Herola, wearing the red bib as the best skier in yesterday’s race, again had the fastest skiing time of 22min 49.9sec.

In a touching moment, skiers at the finish waited to welcome the United States’ 31-year-old Taylor Fletcher over the line in 37th place.

It was the American’s last race of a career lasting more than a decade, the highlight of which was a World Championships bronze medal in the team normal hill event at Val di Flemme in 2013.

Lamparter retained his overall lead, taking his total to 1,202 points, despite only finishing eighth today, leaving him 19 points ahead of Riiber.
