Nathalie Armbruster is the first German combined to win the overall World Cup. The 19-year-old is already the winner before the last race.
Nathalie Armbruster was the first German combined man to win the overall World Cup. The 19-year-old was enough for a sixth place on Saturday in the penultimate season race at the Holmenkollen in Oslo so that it could no longer lose the yellow jersey in the final on Sunday. Norwegian Ida Marie Hagen came in third and has 108 points behind – 100 points can still be reached at the end.
The victory secured the victory on Saturday, when the women started for the first time in the World Cup from the Großchanze, Norway’s world champion Gyda Westvold Hansen ahead of Lisa Hirner from Austria. The Japanese Haruka Kasai, who had been in second place in the World Cup until then, became ninth and is now 111 points behind crossbowers.

Happy end after World Cup disappointment
The high school graduate from the Black Forest caused a huge happy ending after an unsatisfactory World Cup. In Trondheim, Armbruster was lagging behind the expectations with seventh place twice.
In the World Cup, she won significantly less than Hagen with three races (seven). However, the Norwegian had been disqualified on the valuable Seefeld triple – crossbowers caused the decisive lead in the fight for the large crystal ball with her victory there.
