Oberstdorf - The ski jumping World Cup has returned to German soil after stops in the USA and Japan.
The first individual competition is on the program on Saturday at the flying hill in Oberstdorf.
The first round starts at
4:00
p.m.

The DSV athletes certainly had different ideas about returning to a home hill.
After
the first training and qualification were canceled
due to strong winds, the first day of competition for the German jumpers on Friday was anything but according to plan.
Ski jumping in the live ticker today: Clap in team jumping - Wellinger lacks consistency
In the super team flying, the German duo, consisting of Andreas Wellinger and Pius Paschke, jumped well past a podium place.
In the end it was sixth place
, behind the otherwise weak
Poles
and the
Japanese
, who only came as a team of two , with only Ryoyu Kobayashi consistently delivering top jumps.
The gap between
Slovenia
,
Austria
and
Norway
was depressing.
There is a lot to make up for in the first individual competition on Saturday.
Andreas Wellinger
in particular
is actually more trusted.
The silver medalist at the Ski Flying World Championships in Bad Mitterndorf a month ago also had two good jumps on Friday, one in training at
223 meters
and one in the first round of the team jumping at
230.5 meters
.
But he still lacks consistency on the Heini-Klopfer ski jump.

The rest of the German team hasn't really been able to convince either.
Only
Pius Paschke
made it into the top ten alongside Wellinger in the test runs.
The other German group around Karl Geiger
from Oberstdorf
continues to lag behind their form.
In addition to Andreas Wellinger, the two Slovenian team winners
Domen Prevc
and
Timi Zajc
are the favorites in the race.
But
Stefan Kraft
, who continues to lead the overall ranking, and
Michael Hayböck
, who showed the longest jump of the competition on Friday with 235 meters, as well as the Norwegian
Johann Andre Forfang
will certainly have a say in the day's victory.
At the qualification, which will take place on Saturday at 2:30 p.m., you can definitely look forward to many German starters.
This weekend, the DSV is sending its
national group
into the race for the second and last time this year.
Finn Braun
,
Luca Roth
,
Felix Hoffmann
and
Martin Hamann
will be competing here
.
How many of them we will see among the last 40 jumpers in the competition remains to be seen.
