Norway’s Gyda Westvold Hansen wins the gold medal reserved for her in the Nordic combined at the World Championships in Planica.
Despite a fall in cross-country skiing, the 20-year-old from Trondheim triumphed ahead of Germany’s Nathalie Armbruster, who was three years his junior, and Japan’s Haruka Kasai – no relation to former world champion Noriaki Kasai.
In no sport at this World Cup does an athlete dominate as clearly as in the women’s combined event. Westvold Hansen already won the world championship premiere of her discipline in Oberstdorf two years ago. In the last 17 World Cup competitions, she only failed to win once – after a fall in Schonach almost a year ago. (SDA)
