Overview
- Pius Paschke, who fell in training at Bergisel on Wednesday, sustained a mild left‑elbow injury and will refrain from jumping for several weeks to focus on rehabilitation.
- The Deutscher Skiverband announced the break after consulting its medical staff and described the injury as light while not detailing how the fall occurred.
- The timing of the layoff makes his participation in the four‑stop Summer Grand Prix that begins 1 August in Wisla uncertain and makes an appearance there unlikely.
- Paschke, 36, has said he feels mentally fit and intends to continue competing with a goal of qualifying for the 2027 World Championships in Falun.
- The pause forces new head coach Andreas Mitter and DSV selectors to adjust preseason monitoring and could open opportunities for other German jumpers to be evaluated before the winter World Cup.
