LAHTI, Finland (AP) Germany beat two Austrian pairs in a World Cup Nordic Combined team sprint on Saturday.
Johannes Rydzek and Fabian Riessle won the 2x7.5-kilometer skiing 18 seconds ahead of Austria's first pair of Bernhard Gruber and Lukas Klapfer. Austria's second team of Franz-Josef Rehrl and Philipp Orter was 1 minute, 40 seconds behind in third.
Jarl Riiber of Norway had the day's biggest ski jump of 128 meters, setting up a 57-second advantage over Germany for himself and teammate Jan Schmid.
But Riiber looked to be hampered in the ski section by an arm injury, and Norway finished fifth.
