Riiber ‘can’t be matched’ as Norway dominate podium in Seefeld
Jarl Magnus Riiber soared to the Seefeld triple crown with three Nordic combined World Cup victories in three days.
Sunday's normal hill was cancelled due to harsh wind conditions, meaning Thursday's provisional competition results were brought into play.
This placed Riiber in the lead once more as the Norwegian hunted down a three-peat in Austria immediately making his mark in the cross-country, and claiming gold in a time of 34 minutes and 39.8 seconds.
It was a Norwegian one-two as Riiber was joined on the podium by team-mate Joergen Graabak, who raced from behind to claim silver.
Austria's Stefan Rettenegger claimed bronze in a time of 35:17.4.
Gold for Riiber marked a 200th Nordic combined World Cup victory for Norway's men's team.
