Overview
- Slovenia’s Domen Prevc won the overall title as Germany’s top finishers were Felix Hoffmann in sixth and Philipp Raimund in eighth.
- Hannawald said the team lacked the decisive “one more push” and visible fury after setbacks, explicitly exempting Raimund for his attacking approach.
- Reports said Hoffmann competed with knee pain, with an MRI conducted after Bischofshofen to assess the issue.
- Andreas Wellinger and Karl Geiger struggled, repeatedly missing second rounds, and Geiger still has not met the Olympic qualification standard.
- DSV sport director Horst Hüttel called for an urgent review of structures and youth development as coach Stefan Horngacher prepares to depart and focus shifts to the Skiflug Worlds and the Olympics, where the team event has been replaced by a two-man super-team.
