Geiger, who only finished 15th, was disappointed in the normal hill jump on Sunday.

Constantin Schmid, on the other hand, presented himself a little better, surprisingly coming in 11th place ahead of his colleagues who were rated as stronger.

Markus Eisenbichler, the worst German, did not get past 31st place, Stephan Leyhe was 24th. Eisenbichler's poor performance on Saturday has further consequences.

Because for national coach Stefan Horngacher, the Siegsdorfer is no longer an option for the mixed competition.

The 30-year-old six-time world champion dropped out of the nomination, in which two men and two women compete together as a team for one nation.

Constantin Schmid was given preference for Eisenbichler, the 22-year-old from Oberaudorf will represent the German men alongside Karl Geiger.
