Fifth medal for Austria at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Planica: The combined team with Martin Fritz, Lukas Greiderer, Stefan Rettenegger and Johannes Lamparter wins bronze in the team competition behind Norway and Germany.
After second place in the jumping behind Norway, ÖSV start runner Fritz had to let the German Eric Frenzel, who started immediately after him, pass over the 4×5 kilometers of cross-country trails. Final runner Lamparter was able to close the gap to the leading duo, but only temporarily.
In the final round, Jarl Magnus Riiber secured gold for Norway ahead of Germany and Austria. Germany lodged a protest against the rating, according to the DSV interpretation, Riiber Schmid did not cut a curve in accordance with the rules. The outcome of the protest was initially unclear.
“I felt like I was fighting something with blunt weapons,” Lamparter alluded to the material to ORF. In the sprint and in mixed you had really fast skis, this time it was different. “I tried to do it from the beginning,” Lamparter continued, “because I knew I wouldn’t decide it in the sprint. But actually I had no chance.”
