Combined athlete Rydzek wins Olympic gold in German triple victory

Pyeongchang (SID) Four-time world champion Johannes Rydzek won gold in the Nordic combined event on the large hill at the Winter Games in Pyeonchang. In the second German triple triumph in Olympic history, the Oberstdorfer from the big Bakken prevailed after a jump and the 10 km cross-country skiing ahead of Fabian Rießle from Breitnau and normal hill winner Eric Frenzel from Oberwiesenthal. There had only been three German combined athletes on an Olympic podium in 1976 in Innsbruck with Ulrich Wehling, Urban Hettich and Konrad Winkler. At that time, Wehling and Winkler ran for the GDR, Hettich for the Federal Republic. It was the German Olympic team's eleventh gold at the games in South Korea. With 11 gold, 7 silver and 5 bronze in the medal table at the end of the eleventh day of the final, she is in second place behind the Norwegians, who are still leading (11-10-8).
