Two-time Nordic combined Olympic champion Vinzenz Geiger<\/strong> had to stop the German Nordic Combined championships earlier during autumn as a precaution due to the Covid-19. In the ski jumping, which took place in a snow-free environment, the German managed to jump the longest jump of the competition. However, Geiger survived the Covid with few symptoms and is ready for the new winter season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 It is difficult to plan the World Cup season. I know I’m a strong skier, but ski jumping doesn’t always go well, Geiger said.<\/span><\/p>\n

A mass start is not always concidered the most optimal for good skiers to compete.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 I don’t understand why there is a mass start here. \u2013 I have to accept the challenge, Geiger said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Germany’s head coach Hermann Weinbuch<\/strong> is satisfied with the team’s preparation for the season and expects that the Germans will fight for victory at Ruka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ivar Stuan,<\/strong> sports director of Norway, has a good situation in the Nordic combined, because Norway is known to have a strong<\/span> team.<\/p>\n

– One of the secrets is that Jarl (Magnus Riiber)<\/strong> is already much ahead of other athletes and is already ready for the next season, Weinbuch said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Norway supports and cooperates with the other Nordic Combined athletes of smaller countries. One of the athletes in these partnerships is f.ex. Estonian Kristjan Ilves<\/strong>. Norway also has Kazakh and Latvian athletes in its cooperation program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Our responsibility is to help small countries. It is good for the sport, Stuan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The provisional round of the Nordic Combined was held on Thursday. The competition will be jumped in case the conditions become later too challenging for ski jumping. <\/span><\/p>\n

Austrian Mario Seidl<\/strong> jumped the longest results in the provisional round (145.5 meters), thus winning the competition. Norway’s Jarl Magnus Riiber finished second, and Jens Luraas Oftebro<\/strong>, also from Norway, came third. If the results of the provisional round has to be used, Seidl would have a 40-second advantage for the Gundersen.<\/span><\/p>\n
