Weak dress rehearsal: German ski jumper required before tour!

Weak dress rehearsal: German ski jumper required before tour!

The World Cup took place in the Swiss Engelberg in ski jumping, where the German jumpers delivered a disappointing performance. Pius Paschke, the current overall World Cup leader, was unable to convince with 10th place and had to accept his worst result of the season. "We had too little dynamics at the ski jumping table," said national coach Stefan Horngacher, who recognized the difficulties of the athletes due to the snow drives and the rough conditions, such as zvw.de reported.

Wellinger's strong performance and competition from Austria

Andreas Wellinger showed himself to be the best German jumper and fought his way from an 11th place in the first round to fourth place. "It was a solid competition," said Wellinger after his appearance. He was the ray of hope for the German team, while the Austrian jumpers dominated with Jan Hörl and Daniel Tschofenig and occupied the places one and two. Tschofenig, one of Paschke's strongest competitor, not only leads in Engelberg, but is also considered a hot candidate for the overall victory on the upcoming four -hill tour, such as chiemgau24.de reported.

For the DSV jumpers, it is now about using the coming days optimally before the four-hill tour begins on December 28th. It also remains to be seen whether Paschke can withstand the pressure as a favorite despite the setbacks in Engelberg. The upcoming competitions will be crucial to stabilize the shape and show the potential of the German eagles. The exciting question remains: Can the German jumpers learn from their mistakes and reduce the distance to the competition?
