WM in Trondheim - Norwegian Disqualified: ÖSV Now Has a Gold Chance

The Nordic World Championships in Trondheim have taken a dramatic turn as Jörgen Graabak from Norway has been disqualified due to a non-compliant binding after the ski jumping event. Despite being the favorites for the combined team event, Norway is now in fifth place, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

Austria currently leads the competition and is well-positioned to take home a gold medal. The Austrian team consists of Fabio Obermeyr, Franz-Josef Rehrl, Martin Fritz, and Johannes Lamparter, who will start the cross-country leg with a 2-second lead over Germany and a 28-second advantage over third-placed Japan. This unexpected turn of events gives Austria a fantastic opportunity to seize the championship, having last won the team event in 2011 at the Oslo World Championships.

The final race will begin at 15:30. Fans are eager to see if Austria can secure the gold as they defend their lead against Germany and a disqualified Norway. Will they be able to repeat their historic victory? Stay updated with the upcoming action live from the event.
