Vinzenz Geiger shows a strong performance from the normal hill and celebrates its next medal. Another continues to overcome.
Combined Vinzenz Geiger won bronze from the normal hill at the World Cup in Trondheim and thus won his second medal in the title fights in Norway. The Oberstdorfer had to give up the Norwegian Jarl Magnus Riiber and Jens Lurås frequently with the German mixed team. It was the tenth World Cup title for record world champion Riiber.
Julian Schmid came in fourth place. The six -time world champion Johannes Rydzek, who contested his eighth World Cup and was there for the first time in Oslo in 2011, became seventh. In 2015 and 2017 he had won the last German World Cup gold from the normal hill.
“I had very good skis, I also thought that I did it tactically quite well,” said Geiger on ZDF: “But I just didn’t go on.
Riiber, who won his ninth World Cup gold in the Mixed team on Friday in the victory in front of Germany, recently secured the title on the small ski jump three times in a row. He could win his fifth single gold as the first combiner. No combiner has won four gold in series in series, four titles on the normal hill with interruption so far only the Norwegian Johann Gröttumbraten (1924 to 1932) and Ulrich Wehling for the GDR (1972 to 1980).
