German Athletes Shine in Nordic Combined While Ski Jumpers Face Challenges

Vinzenz Geiger claims his third Nordic Combined victory, but German ski jumpers miss the podium for the first time this season in Engelberg.

Vinzenz Geiger secured his third Nordic Combined win of the season, finishing ahead of Finland's Ilkka Herola in a decisive 10-kilometer cross-country race.
Julian Schmid joined Geiger on the podium with a third-place finish, marking a strong performance for the German team in Ramsau am Dachstein.
In the Ski Jumping World Cup in Engelberg, Andreas Wellinger placed fourth, the best result among German jumpers, while Karl Geiger came in fifth.
Pius Paschke, who leads the overall World Cup standings and has five wins this season, finished tenth, citing challenging wind conditions as a factor.
Despite missing the podium, German ski jumpers have maintained a strong season overall, with podium finishes in eight of nine previous competitions.
