MAGNUS Moan brought home a Norwegian one-two as he moved to second in the overall Nordic Combined World Cup standings with a victory in Val di Fiemme.

Moan, 11th after the morning ski jumping, was battled all the way to the line by team-mate Jan Schmid but held on to win by four seconds.

Finland's Anssi Koivuranta, who pulled out midway through Saturday's event due to illness, didn't compete, citing flu.

However, he maintains an 87-point lead in the World cup standings after 11 of the 24 scheduled events.
