2025·Nordic CombinedArmbruster claimed her second World Cup win in two days after her first on Saturday © Thibaut/NordicFocus Nathalie Armbruster (GER) claimed the first ever women’s ‘Triple’ trophy in Seefeld after storming to victory in Sunday’s Gundersen to post a second FIS Viessmann World Cup win in consecutive days
In the absence of World Cup leader Ida Marie Hagen (NOR)
whose disqualification from Saturday’s Compact for a suit infringement in the jumping meant the defending champion was also not allowed to compete in the Gundersen
Armbruster seized her opportunity for the second day in a row
Carrying a 9.4-point lead over Gyda Westvold Hansen (NOR) into the day’s jumping round
the 19-year-old matched Westvold Hansen’s 97.0-meter effort on the HS109 hill to give herself a 53-second advantage over the two-time champion heading into the cross-country
Ambruster gradually extended her lead to over a minute after a third of the 7.5km as Westvold Hansen struggled to make any impression on the German front-runner
Armbruster maintained a strong pace to stretch out her advantage to 1:13.4 by the 5km mark and had plenty of time to grab a German flag to celebrate on the final straight as she came home in 21:18.7
a minute and 24 seconds clear of Westvold Hansen in second
with a 105-point lead over the defending champion
“It will be a completely different feeling to wear the yellow bib in Otepää (EST) next week
It is still unbelievable I can call myself Queen of Seefeld right now.”
Westvold Hansen ploughed a lone furrow as a four-way fight for third place gathered pace behind her
with both Lena Brocard (FRA) and Alexa Brabec (USA) chasing their first World Cup podiums and the Kasai twins (JPN)
who posted a personal-best fifth place in Saturday’s Compact
opening up a five-second gap on the other three
The 20-year-old American doubled that advantage over the next 1.2km
with Westvold Hansen in her sights up ahead
But the effort ultimately caught up with her as the fast-finishing Haruka Kasai caught Brabec in the closing stages to claim her fourth podium of the season after also finishing third in Saturday’s Compact
But it was still a personal-best World Cup finish of fourth for Brabec
with Yuna Kasai taking fifth and Brocard in sixth
Maria Gerboth (GER) – the leader in the season’s Best Jumper standings with three wins so far – continued her consistent form with a 96.5m effort taking the lead with 98.1 points
But with the final 10 enjoying the best of the conditions
the longest jump of the morning - and Yuna Kasai (97.0m) all taking a brief turn in the leader’s chair
Haruka Kasai (94.5m) couldn’t quite match her twin sister but Westvold Hansen
despite not being completely happy with her jump
giving her 114.3 when the points were carried over from Saturday’s Compact
starting with a 9.4 point advantage over Westvold Hansen
matched the Norwegian for distance with another 97.0m effort to take the lead on 127.6 points
giving her a commanding 53-second advantage heading into the cross-country which she never looked like losing
"I am very impressed by Nathalie," Westvold Hansen said
"She is performing at a very high level and it is an exciting year for her."
who remains third in the overall standings
added: "These three days of racing were hard
but I'm glad we were able to have such exciting competition."

We caught up with the series so far and how much the PokerStake roster has won.
As the schedule of events got underway in the tiny Austrian village of Seefeld, one PokerStake player was very quick out of the blocks. In Event #2, a Progressive Bounty event played in No Limit Hold’em, costing €240, Brazilian 888poker player Vivian Saliba made it to 13th place out of §62 entries, cashing for $600.
Saliba was joined in the profit ranks by Stefan Lehner in Event #6, which also took place in NLHE but this time was a Mystery Bounty event. Costing €1,100, the event saw the Austrian Lehner come 11th out of 182 total entries, winning $1,775.
Soon, in the €1,100-entry NLHE Alpine Classic event, Lehner was in the money along with his girlfriend Jessica Teusl and the aforementioned Vivian Saliba. With 195 entries, 31 players made the money, with Saliba finishing in 25th place for $2,357. Lehner (19th) and Teusl (18th) finished in back-to-back positions for $2,457 each, as the three PokerStake players who took part moved into the money places.
In the €550-entry Pot Limit Omaha Classic event, 71 entries meant a top prize of over $11,300 and it was the Brazilian poker pro Vivian Saliba who won outright. Striking a deal heads-up with Serbian player Daniel Primc, Saliba’s eventual victory gave her the win in an event that also featured strong finishes from Portugal’s Nuno Duarte (3rd for $6,401), Nils Pudel (10th for $1,426) and English player Leo Worthington-Leese, who came 13th for $1,284.
It was the fifth ranking victory of Vivian Saliba’s career to date at the live felt and worth the third-biggest score of those five. Three of her other four wins came in Austria too, with her wins in the CAPT Seefeld Ladies Championship in February of 2023, a Turbo Freezeout win in July of that year in Velden and a CAPT Finale win in November a few months later worth $1,718, $12,773 and $4,256 respectively.
The €3,300 Highlander event is one of the biggest events taking place this week in Europe and the PokerStake players who are there have made the most of their opportunity. With 109 entries, a prizepool of over $340,000 saw a top prize of $85,893, but while they missed the outright win, there were two excellent scores for our players.
Samuel Mullur has sold plenty of times on PokerStake and this time made it into the 15th places that were paid comfortably. Coming sixth for a score of $18,617, Mullur outlasted players such as Arsenii Karmatckii (7th for $15,393), Eric Rabl (11th for $8,981) and Siegfried KApeller (12th for $8,090) on his way to the final table.
Finishing even higher was the fantastic Jessica Teusl. With her third score of the series so far, Teusl claimed $29,863 in fourth place as he excellent record in her home country continued. Teusl, who like Saliba is a WSOP bracelet winner – has over $840,000 in her live career to date and avocated the CAPT Seefeld as a great one for her fellow PokerStake players to attend.
Backing up her trip with a big profit already, Teusl, along with her fellow PokerStake stablemates Vivian Saliba, Samuel Mullur, Stefan Lehner and North Macedonian Ilija Savevski, will continue to fight hard as all the players above look for more glory in the CAPT Seefeld Main Event, which last year had a top prize of $131,889 and was won by Colombian poker professional Farid Jattin.
With the Main Event still to come for the PokerStake players in Austria, an even bigger win could yet be coming, for the investors as well as the players at the felt.

2025·Nordic CombinedVinzenz Geiger's fourth World Cup win of the season brought him his first 'Triple' © Thibaut/NordicFocus Vinzenz Geiger (GER) won a thrilling five-way fight for victory in a gruelling 12.5km Gundersen cross-country to claim the first Seefeld ‘Triple’ of his career in the Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined World Cup
The 2022 Olympic champion edged out Norwegian duo Jarl Magnus Riiber and Jens Luraas Oftebro by just 0.2 and 0.4 seconds respectively in a titanic sprint finish
and the 14th individual World Cup win of his career
earned him the prestigious ‘Triple’ trophy and denied Riiber a fairytale farewell to Seefeld
where he has won 11 competitions in the past six years including three ‘Triples’
It is a dream come true, a perfect day. I can’t say anymore. It was technically a perfect race.”– Vinzenz GeigerHaving announced earlier this week that he will retire at the end of the season on health grounds
Riiber gave himself a chance of equalling the great Eric Frenzel (GER)’s record of four Triples when he signed off on the Toni-Seelos Schanze with a superb 106.0-meter jump to win on the hill
That gave him a 16-second advantage over nearest challenger Thomas Rettenegger (AUT)
30 seconds on local favourite Johannes Lamparter (AUT) and more over his other biggest rivals in the tracks
But despite leading for two-thirds of the race
around 8km in Riiber was caught by Ilkka Herola (FIN)
That created a thrilling five-way fight for victory over the final 4km with the lead exchanging hand at regular intervals
Lamparter was the first to attack as they entered the final lap
but it quickly became apparent the Austrian had gone too early and was unable to sustain his move as the other four passed him
Herola also struggled to stay in touch as they headed into the final straight with Geiger showing stunning power and stamina to prevail just ahead of Riiber and Oftebro
who swapped places with Saturday's winner Oftebro (below
second from right) on the podium after the German finished third in the Compact
with Riiber (left) runner-up for a second day in a row after winning Friday’s Mass Start
The five-time champion appeared to indicate he plans to compete in three more competitions next weekend in Otepää (EST)
the last before the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim starting later this month
“This weekend I showed I have taken a big step in the cross-country
although it was a bit similar to earlier this year in that I was getting a bit weaker in every competition
“This is something I have to improve in Otepää
To be number one or two doesn’t matter – I am just here enjoying it so much.”
Oftebro could also reflect on a successful weekend
having been on the podium on all three days
even if there was a tinge of disappointment at not adding to his victory in Saturday’s Compact
“It was a great cross-country race for me,” he said
“I didn’t actually feel tired and it was a bit annoying I couldn’t finish off with a win in the sprint because I felt good
Herola missed out on the podium by 1.6 seconds
with Lamparter having to settle for fifth place
David Mach’s aggressive 101.0-meter jump saw the German set a target of 124.2 points for the leading contenders
second only to Riiber in the Best Jumper category this winter
maintained his strong form by soaring out to 104.5 meters
For a long time that looked as if it might be enough to take victory on the hill as most of the top 10 came and went with Herola (101.0m
for 133.9) all short of overhauling the Austrian
on his final jump on the Toni-Seelos Schanze where he has enjoyed so much success over the years
beat Rettenegger with a superb 106.0m effort – not quite as long as his stunning 108.0m jump on Saturday
but enough to take him to 144.1 points and a 16-second lead over the rest of the field
It was a really good feeling to say goodbye to Seefeld in that way
I felt that at the top – ‘this is my last competition jump here
hopefully I don’t miss it’ - so it was very fun to take out that jump.”– Jarl Magnus RiiberBut with strong skiers Lamparter (+0:30)
Geiger (+0:41) and Oftebro (+0:58) all within a minute
the stage was set for a huge fight in the tracks
There are three more World Cup events – a Mass Start
Gundersen and Compact – scheduled for next weekend in Otepää
After a break for the Nordic World Championships in Trondheim
two more rounds next month in Oslo (NOR) and Lahti (FIN) – with two competitions in each – will complete the World Cup season
Click here for full results from Sunday's Gundersen.
2025·Nordic CombinedIda Marie Hagen won both last year's events in Seefeld
with Gyda Westvold Hansen (left) and Nathalie Armbruster (right) also on the Compact podium © Modica/NordicFocusSeefeld will witness a historic first in Nordic Combined this weekend as the women compete in a first ever ‘Triple’ in the Viessmann FIS World Cup
The Austrian resort will host three individual events - a Mass Start
a Compact and a Gundersen - over successive days from Friday 31 January to Sunday 2 February
In the fifth season since the start of the women’s World Cup
it will be the first time they have enjoyed three different competitions at the same venue
with a special ‘Triple’ trophy awarded to the winner after Sunday’s extended 7.5km Gundersen
who has won all six competitions so far this season and 10 in a row altogether
is looking forward to a busy few days at a venue where she won both events – a Gundersen and a Compact – last year
when you are in the flow of competition,” said the defending champion
“Three days in those tracks can be hard but Seefeld is an amazing place to compete and it will be super fun."
Last year I had my family there and felt like I was on vacation – they were my strongest races and best performances of the season."– Ida Marie HagenFIS Race Director Lasse Ottesen explained recently how the introduction of the ‘Triple’ was part of the continued development of the women’s World Cup
Results from the first two events will be carried over from each day to the next so the first to cross the finish line of Sunday’s Gundersen will take the overall ‘Triple’ trophy
“It will showcase just how physically strong the athletes are and how interesting and exciting the sport of Nordic Combined can be,” Ottesen said
Hagen, 24, has a 135-point lead over Germany’s Nathalie Armbruster in the overall World Cup standings heading into the weekend’s action
Seefeld will also host a ‘Triple’ for the men with a Mass Start on Friday
a Compact on Saturday and an extended Gundersen – with a 12.5km cross-country race
rather than the usual 10km – taking place on Sunday
The Austrian challenge has been growing in recent weeks with a marked improvement in the team’s ski jumping performances leading to an upturn in results
there were seven Austrians in the top 10 on the hill in the Gundersen
That translated into five Austrian finishers in the top 10 overall in both events after the cross-country, with a resurgent Johannes Lamparter leading the way.
The 2022-23 champion was still hampered by a knee problem in the early part of the season but has hit form at the right time approaching his home event, with Seefeld just up the road from his home town of Hall in Tirol.
Lamparter’s third place in Lillehammer in early December was Austria’s only men’s podium of the season until Schonach, where the 23-year-old followed a second place in the Gundersen with a stunning Compact victory, his 15th individual World Cup win.
Lamparter will fancy his chances of further success this weekend at a venue where he has enjoyed seven podiums in his last nine competitions, including two back-to-back victories in January 2023.
Compatriot Stefan Rettenegger, second in last season’s overall standings behind Jarl Magnus Riiber, has also shown signs of being on the verge of a return to the podium, having finished fifth, fourth and five in his last three events.
This will be the first ever ‘Triple’ in the Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined Women’s World Cup, with three different events in successive days.
Results from Friday’s Mass Start and Saturday’s Compact will be carried over each day so the winner of Sunday’s Gundersen – extended from the usual 5km to 7.5km - will take the overall ‘Triple’ trophy.
Ida Marie Hagen (NOR) has won the first six World Cup competitions of the season and the last 10 overall going back to last season.
The defending champion won both events in Seefeld last year, part of an ongoing run of 15 wins in her last 18 individual World Cup events.
Seefeld will also host a ‘Triple’ for the men with a 10km Mass Start on Friday, a 7.5km Compact on Saturday and a longer 12.5km Gundersen on Sunday.
Defending champion Jarl Magnus Riiber (NOR) won all three competitions in Seefeld last year to take the ‘Triple’ trophy – the 11th in men’s World Cup history.
Five-time champion Riiber leads the overall standings by 72 points with German duo Vinzenz Geiger and Julian Schmid (100 points behind) his closest pursuers.
Johannes Lamparter (AUT), up to fourth in the standings after a second place and a victory in Schonach, will be competing on home snow in Seefeld, where he has had seven podiums - including two wins - in his last nine competitions.
2025·Nordic CombinedIda Marie Hagen made it 11 consecutive World Cup wins including the last four of last season © Thibaut/NordicFocus Ida Marie Hagen took a first step towards claiming the first ever women’s ‘Triple’ trophy in the Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined World Cup with victory in Friday’s Mass Start in Seefeld
The Norwegian star produced another dominant performance in the cross-country
beating compatriot Marte Leinan Lund by more than 12 seconds over the 5km race
With the usual order reversed in the Mass Start format
Hagen took a 3.1-point advantage over Lund
4.9 points over Nathalie Armbruster (GER) and 6.4 over Gyda Westvold Hansen (NOR)
who finished a distant fourth in the tracks
But Hansen’s best jump of the season – soaring out to 101.5m
the joint furthest of the day – took her to 88.5 points overall and in sight of a first World Cup win of the season
Armbruster fell narrowly short of overhauling the two-time champion with a 97.0m effort earning her 87.3 points
Hagen – the last to go - pulled out a 93.0m jump to finish with 92.8 points and seal her seventh win out of seven this season
and 11th in a row overall stretching back to last season
especially with the opportunity to win the Triple
My mum flew down from Norway at 6am this morning and I saw my grandparents on the course too so it is super-nice to have my family here."– Ida Marie Hagen“It was a really good start," added the 24-year-old
"I wanted to jump a bit longer but I am super-excited to jump again tomorrow because I really love this hill.”
Hansen took her fifth podium finish of the season in second
so I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend now,” she said
Armbruster was also pleased after the 19-year-old continued her fine season with a fourth podium in third
“I felt pretty strong on the course today and I had a solid jump,” she said
“I think I can jump even further but I am more than happy with third because the Mass Start is not my favourite format
It’s cool to start the first women’s Triple on the podium.”
In the only discipline in which the cross-country race comes before the ski jumping
Hagen (above) took it out at the front from the outset in the tracks and powered away from her rivals in another dominant display
She had opened up a 6.5-second lead by the halfway point of the 5km race over Armbruster and Leinan Lund
Hagen extended that to around nine seconds by 3.7km and powered on up the toughest climb again to finish in 14:00.9
12.2 seconds clear of Leinand Lund and 19.5 ahead of Armbruster
With each four seconds of differential in the cross-country amounting to one point on the Toni-Seelos Schanze
Annalena Slamik (AUT) was the first to go over 100m before compatriot Claudia Purker
Lena Brocard’s (FRA) stylish 96.5m jump briefly took her in front before Yuna Kasai (JPN) – with a 97.5m effort – took over
But Hansen’s brilliant effort put her in pole position
before Hagen – going last – held her nerve to maintain her remarkable winning run

An American tourist in a German rental car caused some raised eyebrows among cross-country skiers in Seefeld
Seefeld is a popular cross-country destination and regularly hosts international cross-country events
including the Nordic events of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck
and the 1985 and 2019 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships
Seefeld’s famous cross-country trail network
which stretches across more than 250 kilometers (156 miles)
found itself the unintended route of an American motorist
inadvertently veered off the forest road connecting Seefeld to Lottensee
he drove onto the “B3 – Wildmoos See” cross-country ski trail
a scenic route cherished by skiers for its rolling terrain and alpine views
The vehicle traversed 550 meters (1,800 feet) of the freshly groomed track before the driver realized his mistake and attempted to turn back
designed to support lightweight skis rather than vehicles
The incident disrupted the trail’s carefully prepared surface
requiring local authorities to re-level the entire 550-meter (1,800-foot) section of cross-country trails
Rescue efforts to remove the stranded vehicle involved towing it onto a nearby forest road using a winch
While the driver’s mistake prompted frustration among skiers and a day of repairs for trail maintenance crews
it thankfully resulted in no reported injuries

Tom Seefeld isn’t looking forward to waking up at 4:30 a.m
structured person,” he said “I don’t know what it is to sleep in.”
will retire as chief of the Murrysville Police Department at the end of June
wrapping up a law enforcement career that spans more than four decades
including a quarter-century as a police chief
first in New Kensington and then Murrysville
“We’ll see if I actually get to sleep in,” Seefeld said
Seefeld was 22 when he joined the Irwin police department in 1981
he had moved to the New Kensington police force
Seefeld spent his final four years there as the borough’s police chief
Seefeld cut his law enforcement teeth policing a New Kensington that had been in the grip of the Mafia just a decade or so earlier
and was undergoing a serious economic downturn following the closure of major industrial businesses such as Alcoa and the American-St
“There was a good deal of crime and violence in New Ken,” Seefeld said
When he became the city’s youngest police chief at age 39
Seefeld began organizing what would eventually become the Westmoreland County SWAT team in 1999
“We wanted a way to answer serious incidents and high priority calls,” he said
“We started with seven of my officers and an armored vehicle donated by the state of California
and I’m really proud of having done that.”
nine Westmoreland police departments have members on the team
“It’s grown into a really good thing to have,” Seefeld said
Seefeld said his older brother was the person who initially got him interested in police work
When he married his wife Mary and started a family
it wasn’t long before his sons told him they wanted to follow in his footsteps
both his sons are with the Penn Township police department
and four of Seefeld’s nephews are in law enforcement
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry about them
I put it in God’s hands,” Seefeld said
but she’s got two kids and a husband to worry about.”
Seefeld said he’s proud of watching his sons develop their careers
“I know they’re tactically minded like me
they’re careful in their jobs and they have a lot of common sense
which is what you really need in this job,” he said
Having his children work in law enforcement has perhaps also helped to keep Seefeld grounded during a quarter-century in the chief’s role
“The chief never forgot what it was like to work as a patrolman or a front-line supervisor,” said Capt
who will step into Seefeld’s role when he is sworn in on July 1
“He trusted in us to make the decision
but he also never hesitated when an immediate decision needed to be made,” Kusinsky said
Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli said Seefeld is one of the finest examples of what police represent
“He’s leaving behind a legacy of integrity
respect and admiration,” Ziccarelli said
he led Murrysville through one of the toughest and most tragic events it had ever experienced
and showed the nation how resilient and strong that community truly is.”
Ziccarelli was referring to the April 2014 stabbing at Franklin Regional Senior High School
where 24 people were injured by a 16-year-old student who brought two large knives to school
Seefeld said it was the biggest challenge of his career
heard the school resource officer call for help and was the first person in the school,” he said
there are times when I still think about it
The recovery in the community took a long time
to try and regain a sense of normalcy.”
Seefeld discussed the department’s response at law enforcement conferences and events over the next 2-3 years
“The Coming Storm,” which focused on the response to police emergencies
Seefeld’s interview begins around the 27-minute mark:
Another challenge was ensuring his officers were trained and equipped to the highest level. His desire for that led to one of his first major initiatives as Murrysville chief: pursuing accreditation for the department
The accreditation assessment is made by three members of law enforcement who come from all areas of Pennsylvania
interview the chief and undertake ride-alongs with officers as part of the process
Seefeld said his experience in New Kensington helped him become who he is today
“I think I grew up really quickly working there,” he said
I found that I liked leading officers.”
That comfort with leadership stayed with Seefeld as he became a police administrator
“I’ve had the opportunity to hire good people into a wonderful profession
to serve the public and train those officers to help people and have successful careers,” he said
Kusinsky said his biggest challenge as the new chief will be losing Seefeld’s 40-plus years of experience
“But he’s set us up with the foundation to keep moving forward as a department,” Kusinsky said
Ziccarelli said she’s going to make sure Seefeld doesn’t stray too far
