Jarl Magnus Riiber earned his second victory at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Nordic Combined World Cup event in Ruka.

The Norwegian triumphed in yesterday's season-opener in the Finnish resort, although he had to overtake emerging Austrian talent Johannes Lamparter in the last stretch of the five kilometre cross-country race to do so. 

He enjoyed a more comfortable victory in today's 10km event. 

Riiber had the head-start going into the cross-country race, having scored 159.3 points in the ski-jump. 

Akito Watabe of Japan was next after managing 155.7, while Manuel Faisst of Germany achieved 149.8.

Despite scoring 145.2 in the ski jump, Eric Frenzel of Germany overtook his opponents to come second in 25:39.5.
