Klingenthal (GER): Lamparter claims double victory

Johannes Lamparter is also the winner of the Individual Gundersen today in Klingenthal (GER).

Franz-Josef Rehrl was in the lead after the Ski Jumping competition on the Vogtland Arena HS 140 today.

In winterly conditions the Austrian jumped 143.5 meters (144.4 pts) and took the lead. Therefore, he was the first one to start into the 10 km cross-country race in the afternoon.

Rank 2 after jumping went to Jarl Magnus Riiber from Norway, who reached the furthest distance of the day with 144 meters and collected 143.4 points. He went into the course only 4 seconds after Rehrl. 
Mass Start winner Johannes Lamparter (140 m, 138.4 pts) placed third, 24 seconds behind his leading team mate. 
Julian Schmid from Germany reached 135.5 meters (129.1 pts) on home soil and took the fourth place, 1:01 min behind.

Riiber caught up with Rehrl already during the first lap, while Lamparter constantly reduced the distance to the front. 
After 3.1km the Austrian caught up to the Norwegian and so that the trio went through most of the race together.

Behind followed the infamous German train consisting of Julian Schmid, Vinzenz Geiger and Manuel Faisst, who tried to reduce the gap to the leading group, but were only able to reduce the gap to 44 seconds after 4km. They couldn't get any closer as Lamparter had taken the lead and kept up the pace.

Rehrl finally had to let go on the last uphill, while Riiber and Lamparter reached the stadium together.

On the final corner, the Overall leader stumbled and was unable to avoid a fall, giving Lamparter his second World Cup victory of the day.

Riiber crossed the finish line 7 seconds later in second place, while Rehrl (+22.9 seconds) completed the podium in third place.

Lamparter is thus still the leader of the trivago German Trophy.
