Akito Watabe of Japan won his fourth straight Nordic combined World Cup event on Saturday to enhance his position as a gold medal contender at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Watabe jumped 130.5 meters and finished the 10-kilometer race in 24 minutes <a title="Odubel Herrera Jersey" href="www.philadelphiaphilliesteamshop.com Herrera Jersey</a> , 14.6 seconds, 1:12.6 ahead of Norway’s Jan Schmid. Germany’s Manuel Faisst was third.

The 29-year-old Sochi silver medalist <a title="Authentic Alex McGough Jersey" href="www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com Alex McGough Jersey</a> , who will represent Japan in his fourth straight Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, extended his season wins to five – the most he has won in a single season on the World Cup circuit.

Watabe became only the second athlete to sweep the three-day Seefeld Triple event in Austria last month. He has surged to the top of the World Cup standings with the results from Japan and Austria <a title="Cheap Ronnie Harrison Jersey" href="www.jaguarscheapshop.com Ronnie Harrison Jersey</a> , adding to a win earlier this season in Finland.

Schmid caught Faisst on the last steep uphill and crossed the finish line 10 seconds ahead of the German skier to claim his third runner-up finish of the season.

Watabe has 845 points in the overall standings, 60 ahead of Schmid heading into Sunday’s final World Cup event before the Olympics.
