By Published On: January 15th, 2012Comments Off on Pittin Sweeps Third and Final Nordic Combined World Cup of the Weekend

Today (Jan. 15) Italian Alessandro Pittin won the last race of the weekend in Chaux-Neuve, France. Taking his third nordic combined World Cup victory in three days, no one could compete against him. Norwegians Joergen Graabak and Mikko Kokslien finished second and third after a tough sprint.

Starting out ten seconds behind Germany’s Tino Edelmann, Pittin got an early lead and never looked back. After 3.6 km he had increased his gap to the group by twenty seconds, and at 6 km it was more than thirty seconds.

“I don’t have any words to describe how happy I am,” said Pittin, “I am very satisfied with today’s race; I never thought 3 victories in France were possible.”

France’s Jason Lamy Chappuis remains in the lead for the overall World Cup standings; ahead of Pittin by 108 points.

The nordic combined World Cup will continue with three competitions in Val di Fiemme, Italy, February 3-5.
