2011 WU Update Day6 – Nordic Combined – Team

Russia Won the Gold Within a 1/10 of a Second!

ERZURUM – February 1st- The Nordic combined competition ended today in Kandili-Erzurum with the Team Gundersen competition K95/3x 5km. This time, Russia was the strongest. Indeed, Russia was ranked 6th after the K95 but Mikhail Barinov, Konstantin Voronin and Ivan Panin managed to control the 3x5km cross-country event so well that they made the best result. Team Japan, the title holder was first after the ski jumping but lost too much time in the cross-country event. Poland which gained the Silver Medal made a good operation thanks to its force and regularity in both disciplines but just missed the Gold for 1/10 of a second!

Switzerland completed this podium (Y. Dufour, FISU Editor)
