German gentlemen are waving a complete World Cup medal set. After the first two races, Christopher Grotheer from the BRC Thuringia leads the ranking ahead of the Winterberger Alexander Gassner and the local hero Axel Jungk from the BRC Saxony Oberbärenburg. The skeleton pilots hold their first two runs.

The start of the World Cup in Hinterstoder is about a small crystal ball: the combination is the last of three winter events. Alexis Pinturault is favorite, the Frenchman has a 68-point advantage over the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in the discipline classification. Thomas Dreßen, Andreas Sander and Romed Baumann were reported for the German team - however, the three should use the station wagon primarily as a test drive for the Super-G on Saturday.

SKI JUMPING

Men, World Cup in Lahti, Finland

5.30 p.m. (ARD and Eurosport)

At the start of the competition trip in Finland, the ski jumpers will have the qualification followed by an individual competition. The German contingent is led by Karl Geiger, second overall in the World Cup. With a win and a second place last weekend in Rasnov, Romania, the 27-year-old from Oberstdorf showed that he can be expected with the leading Austrian Stefan Kraft in the duel for the yellow jersey. "I like being there, I'm looking forward to Lahti," said Geiger before the World Cup. Ruka jumping, which was canceled at the beginning of the season, will be made up for this Friday - therefore, three competitions will take place on three consecutive days.

SPEED SKATING

World Championships all-around and sprint all-round in Hamar, Norway

5.30 p.m. 500 and 1000 meters, women and men

For the first time, the all-around World Championship and the Sprint World Championship will be held at the same time in the same place. At the start, only the ice sprinters are active in the Viking ship from Hamar. For them, the first half of the four-way sprint with 500 and 1000 meters is on the program. Nico Ihle and Joel Dufter are counting on chances for top positions. Hendrik Dombek and Katja Franzen come to the Norwegian Olympic Arena as apprentices.
