Riiber, Norwegian women dominate Nordic combined in Oberstdorf

Overall leader Jarl Magnus Riiber again came out on top in the World Cup Nordic combined event in Oberstdorf, Germany with his Norwegian compatriot Ida Marie Hagen winning the women's version, reported dpa.

In the individual compact, Riiber won after a jump from the normal hill and a cross-country ski over 7.5 kilometres to beat Austria's Stefan Rettenegger and Germany's Manuel Faißt. He extended his lead in the battle for the yellow jersey.

Austria's defending champion Johannes Lamparter did not take part in the cross-country race on Sunday after not feeling well after Saturday's event.

Hagen won the women's event ahead of fellow Norwegians Gyda Westvold Hansen and Mari Leinan Lund.

Westvold Hansen, who usually dominates the discipline, had to admit defeat twice in the Allgäu. She finished third in Saturday's normal hill competition won by Leinan Lund.
