Overview

• Axel Jungk and Susanne Kreher officially departed BSC Sachsen Oberbärenburg this week to begin competing for Dresdner SC.
• The athletes pointed to recent funding shortfalls at their former club and a stronger sense of team support in Dresden as key reasons for the move.
• Dresdner SC’s skeleton division was established in early 2023 under the leadership of Olympic champion Martin Grothkopp and is now bolstered by two world title holders.
• Jungk, the 2022 Olympic silver medalist and 2025 World Cup team qualifier, has secured his spot while Kreher still needs to earn her place in the World Cup squad.
• Both are now focused on ramping up preparations and training in Dresden as they target the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
