At the end of the Ghost World Cup without fans, the German biathletes also want to be on the podium in the last race. After Denise Herrmann's sprint success and third place in the relay, the mass start of the top 30 Herrmann, Franziska Preuß and Vanessa Hinz are hoping for a top position. The men had failed in the first two races due to too many mistakes. It remains to be seen whether Philipp Horn, Arnd Peiffer, Benedikt Doll and Johannes Kühn can do something in the fight man against man.

The qualification and the team jumping are completed, now for Karl Geiger it is about important points in the overall World Cup. The Allgäuer lacks 118 points on the leader Stefan Kraft from Austria, who recently jumped onto the podium consistently. In the remaining four singles on the Raw Air Tour in Norway, Geiger is not only dependent on his own victories, but also on the help of other jumpers. The traditional competitions at Holmenkollen take place without spectators because of the new corona virus.

The first Raw Air competition is also waiting for women, but with three instead of four stations. Jumping to Oslo also takes place in Lillehammer and Trondheim. Unlike the men, the women's World Cup season does not end in Norway, but continues on the Blue Bird Tour in Russia.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

World Cup in Oslo, Norway

Gentlemen, 50 kilometers

11.30 a.m. (ZDF livestream and from 12.40 p.m. on ZDF)

The 50-kilometer race on Holmenkollen is one of the absolute cross-country classics in the competition calendar. One day after the 30-kilometer run for women, men are challenged. There are five starters for the German Ski Association in Lucas Bögl, Jonas Dobler, Andreas Katz, Florian Notz and Thomas Wick. The quintet is only in the outsider role in the competition in front of empty ranks.

ALPINE SKIING

World Cup in Kvitfjell, Norway

Super-G, men

10.30 a.m. (ZDF and Eurosport)

For the speed riders, the Super-G in Norway ended early on Sunday because the World Cup final in Cortina d'Ampezzo is canceled due to the coronavirus effects. After eighth place in the downhill on Saturday, Thomas Dreßen, who was handicapped due to his shoulder injuries, could still collect a few points. Josef Ferstl, Romed Baumann, Andreas Sander, Dominik Schwaiger and Simon Jocher are also registered for the DSV. A decision in the overall World Cup is unlikely to be made yet because the pursuers Alexis Pinturault and Henrik Kristoffersen, who are behind the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, could score strongly in the outstanding technical races in Kranjska Gora.
