The winter sports season is already on the home stretch. In the fight for the overall ratings, it remains exciting from a German perspective, especially for biathlete Franziska Preuss. Perhaps combiners Vinzenz Geiger or Skicrosser Florian Wilmsmann can also make a turnaround in the allocation of the large crystal balls in the end of the season.
In the biathlon For Franziska Preuss, after the strong World Cup, it is still about victory in the overall World Cup. The lead over the Frenchwoman Lou JeanMonnot has melted to only 36 points before the penultimate World Cup station from comfortable 92. For Prussia this week in Pokljuka and in the coming week at the final in Oslo will also be about small balls of the discipline ratings.

In the sprint, Preuss leads with seven points ahead of Justine Braisaz-Bouchet. In the persecution ranking, JeanMonnot is just ahead of Julia Simon and Preuss. In the singles, JeanMonnot, on the other hand, is already rushed to 55 points. In Prussia, long career, she has once won a small crystal ball – in 2015 she won in the mass start. Now she has the hand in several total victories.
Bö leads in three ratings – but scarce
The men’s overall ranking is extremely tight. In his last World Cup season, Johannes Thinges Bö leads with just five points in front of his team -mate Sturla Holm Laegreid. The distance between teammates is also minimal in the persecution. Bö is also in the sprint in front. Emilia Jacquelin is missing 23 points, Laegreid 36 on the high -flyer.
Laegreid was only able to turn the skewer in the mass start and has a point ahead. In the singles, Endre Stömsheim leads in front of Vebjörn Sörum and Laegreid. It is clear that in all individual competitions the Norwegians have their hand on the ball.
Nordic combination: violinist is first RiiBer tracker
Both Nordic combines There are still five competitions at two World Cup stations. In the overall ranking, Jarl Magnus Riiber towers at the top with 1,295 points in his farewell season. But nothing has yet been won here, because Vinzenz Geiger is only 81 points ago.

In women, Nathalie Armbruster can make the overall victory at the weekend with two good competitions at the last World Cup stop in Oslo. The 19-year-old from SV-SZ Kniebis in 1928 has a comfortable distance of 102 points to Japanese Haruka Kasai.
Austrian Dominance among the ski jumpers
In the Ski jumping Team Austria with three athletes is at the forefront in the overall ranking. Fourth forces tour Daniel Tschofenig leads ahead of Jan Hörl and Stefan Kraft. During the upcoming RAW Air Tour and the World Cup in Lahti, points can still be collected.

Nika Prevc has accumulated a comfortable lead among women – with eight wins from eight individual jumping, the 19 -year -old is also in impressive form. Katharina Schmid lacks 455 points on the Slovenin, who confidently controlls the overall victory. Selina Freitag was already 492 points behind the RAW-Air tour. With a view to the shape curve, it is quite conceivable that the three-time World Cup medalist Selina Freitag teammate Schmid will stop in second place. Schmid is currently flying her good form from the start of the season, recently in a single in the podium in early January.
Ski Alpin: How many balls gets Odermatt?
The large crystal ball of the Alpine ski racers Probably goes to the Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt for the fourth time. Success can only be taken purely mathematically. In the Super G, he has the small trophy in series for the third time. The fight for the downhill ball, on the other hand, is only decided at the season finale in Sun Valley (22nd – 27.03.). Franjo von Allmen could still prevent an Odermatt success.
In the giant slalom, on the other hand, the decision can be made in the Norwegian Hafjell between Odermatt and Henrik Kristoffersen at the weekend. In the slalom, however, the Norwegian is the hottest contender on the small ball.
Brignone mixes almost everywhere
In the women, Federica Brignone already has the hand on the large crystal ball. The Swiss Lara Gut can theoretically catch up with strong results. In the departure, everything is still possible in the three -way fight between Brignone, Cornelia Hütter and Sofia Goggia. And in the Super-G nothing has yet been decided in three outstanding races between Gut-Behrami, Brignone and Goggia.

This week, two World Cups in Craigleith Canada are on the program, and on the last March weekend, the grand finale in Idre Fjäll, Sweden, is on the program.
