Andreas Wellinger, Selina Freitag, Katharina Schmid and Philipp Raimund just missed the hoped-for mixed medal at the World Cup in Trondheim.
Germany’s ski jumping team just missed the hoped-for mixed medal at the World Cup in Trondheim. The World Cup seconds Andreas Wellinger and Selina Freitag as well as Katharina Schmid and Philipp Raimund only came fourth on the Großschanze with 899.0 points.
Gold went to Norway (1020.4) ahead of Olympic champion Slovenia (959.3) and Austria (906.8).
Andreas Wellinger fetched silver in the singles
A strong last jump from Wellinger at 139.0 m gave the DSV quartet hope again, but in the end there was a good four meters to the podium. Defending champion Germany had always won a medal in all six mixed competitions in the World Cup history, most recently even five in a row.
For the first time no German on the podium
In the fourth ski jumping competition in Trondheim, no German was on the podium for the first time. Wellinger and Friday had previously brought individual silver, the women’s team also bronze.
For the German men around Wellinger, the team competition continues on Thursday (4.20 p.m.), a medal is at least possible there. At the end of the World Cup, the individual decisions on the large hill follow on Friday (women) and Saturday (men).
