SCHONACH, Germany (AP) — Jason Lamy Chappuis of France claimed his second Nordic combined win of the season Sunday to extend his lead in the World Cup standings.

The defending champion was fifth after the ski jump but overtook his rivals in the 10-kilometer cross-country race to finish in exactly 26 minutes. Japan's Akito Watabe was 1.9 seconds behind, while Norway's Magnus Moan had the fastest cross-country race to climb to third, after finishing 10th in the jump.

After six completed events, Lamy Chappuis led the standings on 455 points, followed by Moan on 383 and Watabe on 229. Norway won the 4x5K team relay event on Saturday.
