The Nordic World Ski Championships are slowly coming to an end.

For the combiners there is one last competition on Saturday: the team sprint from the large hill over 2 x 7.5 kilometers.

Eric Frenzel and Fabian Rießle form the German team and are determined to get the second medal for the DSV in the combination.

You start as the defending champion - at the 2019 World Cup in Seefeld, Frenzel and Rießle won the gold medal.

The chance for precious metal is great this time too.

It starts at 10 a.m. with jumping from the large hill.

At 3 p.m. there will be a showdown on the trail.

Nordic World Ski Championships: Final result of the individual combined competition

1. Johannes Lamparter (gold)	Austria
2. Jarl Magnus Riiber (silver)	Norway	+ 0: 37.4 minutes
3. Akito Watabe (bronze)	Japan	+ 0: 45.8 minutes
4. Eric Frenzel	Germany	+ 1: 57.7 minutes
5. Fabian Riessle	Germany	+ 1: 57.9 minutes

Update from March 4th, 3:55 p.m.:

So, with that we say goodbye to Nordic combined for today.

Eric Frenzel and Co. have another chance to get a medal on Saturday.

Hopefully it works there!

Nordic World Ski Championships - combination: sensation from Austrian youngsters!

Frenzel with morals

10 km: It's

a conciliatory end!

In the end, Eric Frenzel actually fights his way into the top group, prevails against Fabian Rießle in the final sprint and still comes in fourth.

What would have been possible if the jumps had only worked?

10 km:

madness!

The 19-year-old Johannes Lamparter really takes the world title here.

Mega favorite Jarl Magnus Riiber takes silver - and Akito Watabe takes bronze.

9.1 km:

Is that crazy!

Lamparter actually builds its lead and beats Riiber and Watabe here!

That will be gold for the Austrian!

7.5 km:

So the first three places are fixed, nothing will change there.

It only gets exciting if you get gold, silver and bronze out of the three.

The chasing group around Rießle is almost a minute and a half behind.

For the German, this is just a training session under competition conditions.

Meanwhile, Lamparter remains in front of Riiber.

That could be real ...

Nordic World Ski Championships NOW in the live ticker: Drama about German combiners - what's still going on on the trail?

5 km:

Ok, what Lamparter is doing is really great!

The gap to Riiber, who has just overtaken Akito Watabe, remains almost the same (+ 33.3 seconds).

Fabian Rießle has now fought his way up to fifth - and Eric Frenzel is not giving up either and is moving up to 10th place.

Maybe something is possible?

1.6 km:

Top favorite Riiber has already lost four seconds from the youngster after not even two kilometers.

At the back of the field, Eric Frenzel is really accelerating.

Fabian Rießle has also made up one place and moves up to 9th place.

0 km:

The race has started!

Youngster Johannes Lamparter takes off!

3:13 p.m.: In

all likelihood, there will be no medal for a German combiner.

Fabian Rießle starts from 10th place and is 1:18 behind.

But it is probably not strong enough on the trail for that.

But let's be surprised.

We're about to start ...

Update from March 4th, 2:43 p.m.:

In just under 30 minutes, the combiners can hit the cross-country ski trail after jumping in the morning.

We are curious to see if anyone can beat the absolute top favorite Jarl Magnus Riiber.

It would be a real surprise.

Nordic World Ski Championships - Combination: The intermediate result after the jumping

1. Johannes Lamparter	Austria	153.3 points
2. Akito Watabe	Japan	147.6 points	0:22 minutes
3. Jarl Magnus Riiber	Norway	144.0 points	0:37 minutes
10. Fabian Riessle	Germany	124.4 points	1:18 minutes
13. Eric Frenzel	Germany	119.6 points	2:14 minutes
15. Manuel Faisst	Germany	116.4 points	2:27 minutes
21. Johannes Rydzeck	Germany	109, 6 points	2:41 minutes
25. Vincent Geiger	Germany	103, 6 points	3:18 minutes

12.03 p.m.:

So, that's it from the large hill.

A really sobering result from the Germans, none of whom will probably fight for a medal.

The 19-year-old Johannes Lamparter greets a bit surprisingly from the top.

Top favorite Jarl Magnus Riiber will start the trail in third place at 3 p.m.

We look forward to it anyway.

11:59 a.m.:

Wow!

That was once an announcement.

Jarl Magnus Riibar jumps up to 135 meters and moves up to 3rd place. It will be an exciting fight in Lopie!

Vinzenz Geiger:

That can't be true!

Geiger also falls - 116 meters.

3:18 backlog ...

Fabian Rießle:

It works!

At least to some extent.

Rießle jumps to 125 meters - but there are also more than a minute behind.

But bronze would be perfectly feasible.

Eric Frenzel:

What a shame!

Only 122 meters, 2:14 minutes behind.

Manuel Faisst:

Will the next German do it better?

Unfortunately, no!

The Black Forest also breaks off the jump early and lands at 118 meters.

In other words, 1:49 minutes behind on the trail.

Nothing works there anymore.

What's wrong with the German combiners?

Johannes Rydzeck:

Now the former world champion!

But this flies really restlessly and almost crashes - and lands at 116 meters.

That is a delay of over 2 minutes ... that was nothing!

11.42 a.m.:

Mario Seidl jumps really far here and pushes himself to the top.

11.36 a.m.:

So, now is

going to

be interesting!

The best 20 athletes are now starting.

We're really looking forward to it.

11.26 a.m.:

Still over 15 jumpers until Johannes Rydzeck, the first German to start.

Meanwhile, Gasper Brecl is still in the lead with his little fabulous jump at 132 meters.

But it won't last forever.

11.07 a.m.:

The wind conditions in Oberstdorf are more or less mixed.

We are excited to see what it will look like when the big names hit the line.

Gasper Brecl is currently ahead with 128.3 points.

By the way, the Germans start in the following order: Johannes Rydzeck as 41st, Manuel Faißt as 42nd, Eric Frenzel 48th, Fabian Rießle as 49th and Vinzenz Geiger as 51st.

11:01 a.m.:

The jumping begins.

However, there are no names among the first 20 jumpers that you really need to know.

So it will take a few minutes for the favorites to start.

Nordic World Ski Championships: jumping the combiners in the live ticker - Will Frenzel rock again?

Update from March 4th, 10:57 a.m.:

Andreas Bauer, the women's ski jumping national trainer, has apparently announced his resignation.

The ZDF just reported.

Later more.

Now let's take a look at the combiners around Eric Frenzel, Fabian Rießle, local hero Vinzenz Geiger and Manuel Faißt.

Update from March 4th, 10.13 a.m.:

In less than an hour the combiners start from the large hill in Oberstdorf!

Then Eric Frenzel and Co. fight for the medals.

Maybe it will even be gold?

Let's keep our fingers crossed for them.

Nordic World Ski Championships in the live ticker: combiners hope for a medal - "King Eric" calls for Riiber

Oberstdorf - It's been two years since Eric Frenzel * sensationally won gold at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2019 in Seefeld.

Can he defend the world title?

Probably not, says Frenzel after fourth place in the competition on the normal hill and silver with the relay.

The seven-time world champion will start as defending champion, but even then his victory was a surprise.

To repeat this coup, everything has to fit - from a top performance of his own to a mistake by Riiber, who won twice in two starts in Oberstdorf.

“Jarl has also become really strong on the trail.

You have to take off your hat, ”says Frenzel.

Nordic World Ski Championships in the live ticker: Rydzek back - last dance by Frenzel?

A medal would be a particular success for Frenzel because the competition might be the last in a World Cup individual.

At the moment he is only planning until the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2022, said Frenzel on Monday at a sponsorship meeting with the Viessmann company: “I also agree with my family that we will not discuss this any further until then.

We will then decide what the right way is. "

Meanwhile, Olympic champion Johannes Rydzek is returning to the German squad for the second Nordic Combined World Cup individual on Thursday.

The 29-year-old local hero was nominated by national coach Hermann Weinbuch for the race in Oberstdorf, as the DSV announced on Wednesday. 

Rydzek had been dropped from the team competition after disappointing in the first individual on Friday.

In addition to Rydzek, defending champions Frenzel, Fabian Rießle *, Vinzenz Geiger and Manuel Faißt * are nominated.

Germany has five starting places, as Frenzel won the world title in Seefeld in 2019.

Nordic World Ski Championships in the live ticker: Combine hope for a medal - "King Eric" calls Riiber for the third round

Before jumping from the large hill on Thursday at 11 a.m. and then on to the cross-country ski run at 3 p.m., the 32-year-old Frenzel first made use of a service that many Germans probably took advantage of at the beginning of the week: a visit to the hairdresser .

“He was with us in the team hotel,” revealed the probably most unpretentious German winter sports enthusiast in Oberstdorf, so he grabbed the opportunity without further ado.

After returning from the World Cup, he would otherwise have "probably had to wait until April", said Frenzel with a grin.

Hopefully he still put on that grin on Thursday afternoon.
