The home favourite stormed to his fourth World Cup win of the season.
Jarl Magnus Riiber was once again in a class of his own as he eased to his fourth Nordic Combined World Cup win of the season on home snow.
Riiber jumped the furthest of anyone – a whopping 143 metres – in the ski jumping leg and started with a commanding lead in the 10km cross-country.
And he converted that into a 13.5-second victory to send the locals home happy in Lillehammer.
Riiber was followed across the line by Austria's Johannes Lamparter, while Germany's Eric Frenzel completed the podium a further 32.1 seconds back.
Riiber has racked up 300 points already this season and has the yellow bib, with Lamparter second on 272.
