Hagen Wins Otepää Nordic Combined as Winds Cancel Ski Jump

With Olympic participation off the table for women this season, the World Cup carries added weight.

Overview

  • Race officials canceled the ski-jump in Otepää due to strong winds and used Thursday's provisional round with the completed mass-start to set final standings.
  • Norway's Ida Marie Hagen claimed victory, Finland's Minja Korhonen took second, and Germany's Nathalie Armbruster placed third.
  • Armbruster's 11th place from the provisional jump secured her fourth podium in five events after posting the second-fastest cross-country time.
  • Hagen leads the overall World Cup with 490 points, with Armbruster third, 122 points behind.
  • Organizers plan to continue in Otepää with a Gundersen-format event Saturday (10:45 jump, 14:30 ski) and a compact race Sunday (11:30/15:00) following an earlier weather-related cancellation in Schonach.
