Graabak cashes in without Riiber

Nordic Combined World Cup leader Riiber opted to sit this event out and at the end of a thrilling race, Norway's Graabak came from third to take the win ahead of German pair Johannes Rydzek and Fabian Riessle.

"It makes me really happy, I have never been on the podium here before so it is a really great feeling, I did not expect that when we went into the last 300m because I was third," he said.

"But the finish is really fast and I am really happy that I could be first. It always feels good to win and with Jarl Magnus not here I am really happy to be the lucky one."

Riiber, who has 480 points, still has a mammoth lead at the top of the World Cup standings with Rydzek 185 points back.

But Graabak moves into third on 267 points, with Mario Seidl in fourth and Franz-Josef Rehrl in fifth.
