Update from February 6, 5:11 a.m .:

It was actually planned that we could slowly tell you at this time who was on course for a medal in the men’s downhill.

The race, originally scheduled for 4 a.m. German time, has since been postponed several times.

It will start at 7 a.m. at the earliest - but the departure may even be postponed to Monday.

Munich / Beijing - Will there be the first gold for DVS at the 2022 Olympics* in Beijing on Sunday?

After Katharina Althaus bitterly missed out on the Olympic victory in women's ski jumping on the normal hill, colleagues Karl Geiger and Markus Eisenbichler could jump to the top on Sunday.

Although the DSV-Adler are not the big favorites at the start, a surprise would definitely be possible. On the other hand, there is great hope for gold when it comes to tobogganing! Johannes Ludwig reaches for the greatest triumph of his career. The overall World Cup winner goes into the last two runs of the Olympic luge competition as the leader, but is only 39 thousandths of a second ahead of the Austrian Wolfgang Kindl. Record world champion Felix Loch is fourth in the intermediate classification, while Max Langenhan is aiming for a top 10 place in seventh. Things get serious at 12:30 p.m. and 2:15 p.m.

The German downhillers, on the other hand, are outsiders in the first Olympic decision of alpine ski racers.

Romed Baumann, Josef Ferstl, Dominik Schwaiger and Vice World Champion Andreas Sander, who received the last DSV start ticket on Saturday, were not convincing in the World Cup recently.

The race starts at 4 o'clock.
