Dec 16, 2022·Nordic Combined
Gyda Westvold Hansen is the winner of the first Individual event in Ramsau (AUT), securing her 10th World Cup victory.
The yellow bib owner was already in the lead after the Ski Jumping competition on the WM-Schanze HS98 this morning.
With 95 meters and a total of 128.4 points the Norwegian took a 42 second lead into the 5 km Cross-Country race this afternoon.
Second place after jumping went to Austrian local hero Lisa Hirner with 93 meters and 118 points. Nathalie Armbruster (93 m, 117.5 pts) from Germany was on rank 3 and went into the race 44 seconds after Hansen.
The Norwegian achieved a confident start-finish victory on the difficult cross-country course by consistently keeping the competition at a distance.
She reached the finish line with a lead of 56.8 seconds, while the fight for the remaining podium places was much more exciting.
Hirner and Armbruster went through the race together and took turns leading.
Meanwhile, Best Skier Ida Marie Hagen, who had started 1:36 minutes behind Hansen, came closer and closer and was only 1:09.3 minutes behind the Norwegian after 3.3 km.
However, she was not able to catch up with the direct pursuers from Austria and Germany, so that Hirner secured her best career result with rank 2 (+56.8 sec), ahead of Armbruster (+58.5 sec) in third place, while Hagen placed 4th (+1:07.4 min).
