Nordic Combined: Jarl Magnus Riiber Wins the World Cup Globe

Jarl Magnus Riiber clinched his fourth consecutive Nordic Combined World Cup globe by winning the second race at the Schonach stage in Germany on Sunday. With this victory, he surpassed Austrian Johannes Lamparter, who had been a closer competitor throughout the season.

This win adds to Riiber's impressive record, marking his 49th career victory and his 14th individual win of the current season. It was a remarkable end to the season, especially following a challenging Olympic performance earlier in the year.

In the women's category, Norway's Gyda Westvold Hansen triumphed in the race, dominating the first complete season of the women's Nordic Combined World Cup. French athlete Léna Brocard finished in 7th place.

This season's performances highlight Riiber's dominance in the sport and reinforce his status as a leading athlete in Nordic Combined skiing.
