German Ski Jumping Team Places Third in Willingen Mixed Event

The team secured a podium finish at the home World Cup, marking a morale boost after recent struggles.

Germany's mixed ski jumping team, consisting of Andreas Wellinger, Philipp Raimund, Katharina Schmid, and Selina Freitag, finished third at the World Cup in Willingen.
The team was outperformed by Norway and Austria, who claimed the top two spots in the competition.
This marks a positive moment for the German men's ski jumping team, which had not reached the podium since mid-December, while the women's team has been more consistent recently.
The event drew 7,650 spectators, with even larger crowds anticipated for the weekend competitions.
Slovenian jumper Timi Zajc was disqualified in the first round for wearing a non-compliant suit, eliminating his team's chance at a podium finish.
