Oberstdorf - Final spurt at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf *!

There are still a few decisions to be made on the final weekend, and the German ski jumpers are still hoping for a medal.

What is still in there for the DSV-Adler on Friday and Saturday?

On Friday, starting at 5 p.m., the men's individual competition will start, 24 hours later the team will again be on the podium at the home World Cup.

First of all, let's take a look at Friday, which Severin Freund * will certainly be particularly looking forward to.

Nordic World Ski Championships: Ski jumping in Oberstdorf in the live ticker - Severin Freund back

The former ski jumping world champion (2015 in Falun in the singles and in the mixed team) is allowed to make his debut in Oberstdorf in the second singles.

After he was not considered for the normal hill individual and the mixed team last week, national coach Stefan Horngacher nominated him for the Friday jumping competition.

In addition to Freund, defending champions Markus Eisenbichler *, Karl Geiger *, Pius Paschke * and Martin Hamann are there.

Constantin Schmid failed due to internal qualifications.

The German team has a fifth place on the grid thanks to the Eisenbichler 2019 title in Seefeld.

The qualification on the Schattenberg already takes place on Thursday (5.30 p.m.). 

Nordic World Ski Championships: Ski jumping in Oberstdorf in the live ticker - women's national coach Bauer stops

Meanwhile, there are also personnel changes at the coach level: Andreas Bauer has a “private project” instead of the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The national ski jumping coach for women stops at the end of the season.

The 57-year-old announced this in a media round on Thursday morning.

“For a long time I have come to the decision that the home World Cup in Oberstdorf would be the highlight for me again.

That I am happy to continue until then.

I will resign at the end of the season, ”said Bauer one day after the end of the women's World Cup in Oberstdorf.

Bauer has accompanied the jumpers since the first World Cup hour in 2011/2012 and has been responsible for many victories, world championship titles and two Olympic medals in recent years (gold from Carina Vogt in 2014, silver from Katharina Althaus in 2018).

The decision was difficult for him, reported Bauer, for whom the time-consuming trainer job would no longer be compatible with the private project, which was not explained in more detail.

At the announcement of the farewell in the circle of the jump team around top athlete Althaus, "tears also flowed" late on Wednesday evening, said the coach.


Team manager Horst Hüttel left the switch open for those who follow Bauer for the upcoming Olympic season.

“It will be a difficult task for me and Karin Orgeldinger to place someone here.

We have the Olympics ahead of us for the coming year, ”said Hüttel.

Bauer not only shaped the association, but also the athletes.

"It definitely leaves a gap," emphasized Hüttel.
