A win actually seemed impossible. But then Vinzenz Geiger caught up meter by meter. The thrilling goal sprint of the German made the commentators happy.
It is the fourth gold medal for Germany that Vinzenz Geiger won in Beijing on Wednesday. The omens were bad for the Nordic Combined: Some of Geiger’s teammates, including Eric Frenzel, dropped out due to corona infections. The man from Oberstdorf himself came fresh out of quarantine on Wednesday. But after a weak jump, Geiger demonstrated his talent in the run.
