Simon Jocher cites severe foot pain, while Jacob Schramm suffers multiple knee ligament tears after a training crash.

  • Simon Jocher, 28, has withdrawn from the Hahnenkamm-Rennen in Kitzbühel due to ongoing severe foot pain caused by a heel injury sustained in December.
  • Jocher attempted training earlier in the week but experienced significant swelling and pain, leading to his decision to skip the Super-G and downhill events.
  • Jacob Schramm, 26, suffered ligament tears in both knees and a mild concussion following a crash during Wednesday's training session.
  • The German speed team is now reduced to Romed Baumann and Luis Vogt for the remainder of the Kitzbühel races.
  • Jocher's participation in upcoming events, including the Garmisch-Partenkirchen race on February 2 and the World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm from February 4–16, remains uncertain.
