The Tyrolean celebrated his seventh World Cup victory in the Seefeld triple, the first on home soil, after 25:19.2 minutes, 20.3 seconds ahead of Vinzenz Geiger (GER) and 22.7 ahead of his compatriot Julian Schmid.
The second best Austrian was Franz-Josef Rehrl (+25.3), who was fourth after the jumping, in fifth place, only two tenths behind Kristjan Ilves (EST).
“A great day, first World Cup victory at home, a mega feeling. I’m a bit speechless right now,” was Lamparter’s first reaction to the win. “It wasn’t easy to walk everything alone, that’s when you start doing arithmetic.” He is the first red-white-red winner since 2010 in Seefeld. “It means a lot for Seefeld and for me, I’m overjoyed at the moment.”
Lamparter was seven seconds ahead of Japan’s Ryota Yamamoto after a 109.0 m jump including Friday’s bonus points. After the disqualification of Jarl Magnus Riiber, who was unable to compete due to a tear in his jumping suit and was therefore unable to compete on Sunday either, Lamparter is moving closer to the Norwegian in the World Cup rankings.
In any case, Austria’s currently best Nordic Combined athlete has a great chance of taking the lead in the World Cup in addition to Austria’s first triple victory on home soil. For this it is important to show performance at the end of the season in Seefeld on Sunday (11:20 a.m./1:25 p.m., live ORF 1).
