Jarl Magnus Riiber made it into the Nordic Combined history books on many counts with this second of two Individual Gundersen competitions in Trondheim. With his 13th season win, he broke Hannu Manninen’s record from the 2005/06 season and now has the chance to increase this margin until the end of the season in Schonach in three weeks.

Today’s victory increased his numbers of wins to 26, which also meant that Riiber is now the most successful Norwegian athlete in the Nordic Combined World Cup together with legend Bjarte Engen Vik, who also holds 26 victories. Last but not least, Riiber also clinched the 2019/20 overall victory and his second crystal globe today.

Riiber showed a flawless Nordic Combined performance once again and finished 29.4 seconds ahead of teammate Jens Lurås Oftebro. The Norwegian team delighted the home crowd with a quadruple victory with local heroes Espen Bjørnstad and Jørgen Graabak completing a stellar team result by finishing at +35.5 and +54.7 seconds after Riiber.
