Right at the start of the winter sports weekend, the German ski jumpers pull off a coup. The DSV athletes celebrate a home success in the super team competition.
Ski jumping newcomer Pius Paschke continued his highs at the start of the World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt. The overall World Cup leader won the “Super Team” competition with Andreas Wellinger and continued to show impressive form a good two weeks before the start of the Four Hills Tournament.
In the first home game for the DSV-Adlers of the current season, the German duo were well ahead of Austria (850.0) and Norway (829.2) after three rounds with 873.3 points. The 34-year-old Paschke was the best flyer of the day with three sparkling jumps of 143.5, 140.0 and 142.5 m. The two-time Olympic champion Wellinger also showed no weakness with 138.5 and two 137.0 m.
In the “Super Team” format, two jumpers per team compete over three rounds each. In the men’s World Cup, this competition was held for the first time in Lake Placid in the 2022/23 season, after which there were three more competitions. The previous only German victory was in February 2023 by Karl Geiger and Andreas Wellinger. The German duo was only not on the podium at the premiere.
Individual competitions take place in Titisee-Neustadt on Saturday and Sunday (from 4 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
