Mario Seidl – That was the Nordic Combined Triple 2017!

Besides the World Championships in Lahti, the Nordic Combined Triple was definitively the highlight of the Nordci Combined World Cup and at the end Mario was able to get a great 4th place in front of the home spectators.

The German dominance, as they showed the whole season, was alreadyd on the first day of the Triple apparent. Eric Frenzel and Johannes Rydzek performend on an own level and showed that only one of those will be able to win the Triple in Seefeld. Mario Seidl placed 15 at the first day and was therefore very motivated to improve this result on the next two days.

Also on they two, it was Johannes Rydzek and Eric Frenzel. But there was a big difference concerning Mario: With an amazing jump and a good position for the cross country part he was not only able to take the 5th place but he also outperformend the very strong cross country skier Fabian Riessle at the finishing line.

A similiar picture could be seen at the last day. Again, Mario showed a great performance on the hill and was able to fight for the overall podium but in the end Bernhard Gruber was bit stronger at the finish and therefore Mario achieved a great 4th place behind Gruber, Rydzek and Frenzel.

Altogether a very good weekend for Mario Seild with intense but great competitions.
