Nordic World Ski Championships: National coach Schlickenrieder sees a chance for a medal "most likely with the teams"
The German team's hopes for a podium place are low, but the two runners Victoria Carl and Pia Fink have not done too badly so far.
The goal on Thursday should be to keep the race for third place open to the last runner.
This is how the little sensation could succeed.
Carl finished 14th in the freestyle over 10 kilometers, Fink was 20th.
“We'll most likely fight for medals with the teams.
Because it's about more than individual performances, ”said national coach Peter Schlickenrieder before the World Cup.
