Season dominator Jarl Magnus Riiber also did not disappoint in the last event of the winter 2019/20 in Oslo (NOR) and increased his season victory count to a new record of 14 wins. With his 27 victories, he now stepped up to the fourth place in the best-ever list and overtook Bjarte Engen Vik as the Norwegian athlete with the most World Cup victories.

In today’s race, Riiber demonstrated once more that he is unbeatable if he has a decent head start after the jumping part and finished his usual lonely race 54.1 seconds ahead of Germany’s Fabian Rießle. Ilkka Herola (FIN) lost out to a finish line sprint against Rießle but also returned to the podium as third and finished +54.8 seconds after Riiber.

In the ski jumping round, Riiber showed his class once more and jumped to 135.5. metres and 145.3 points to take a clear lead of +0:41 seconds on runner-up, Ryota Yamamoto. The Japanese had been in the leaderboard for a good while after jumping to 134.5 metres (135 p.). Simen Tiller claimed a surprise third place with 133 metres and 129.5 metres and started his race one minute and three seconds after his teammate.
