Ryota Yamamoto started the 10km cross-country race in second after the longest jump of the day of 112 metres but was quickly dropped by the chasing pack, headed by Johannes Lamparter.

The Austrian was overtaken with 2.5km to go as Joergen Graabak and Jens Luraas Oftebro formed a Norwegian 1-2-3 on the podium.

Riiber's lead in the Crystal Globe standings has increased to 221 points after nearest challenger Stefan Rettenegger of Austria finished sixth.

Ida Marie Hagen made it double gold for Norway with victory in the women's individual compact for back-to-back wins in Seefeld.

The 23-year-old started the 5km cross-country race six seconds behind compatriot Gyda Westvold Hansen after the latter had produced the highest score in the ski jumping.

Hagen held a 20.6-second lead at the halfway stage and extended that to 1:02.7 seconds as Westvold Hansen held off the challenge of Nathalie Armbruster, with the German earning bronze.

Hagen now leads the overall World Cup standings by 90 points from Westvold Hansen with Mari Leinan Lund completing an all-Norwegian top three despite missing Saturday's race.
