The German Nordic Combined women start the new season confidently.
“I don’t give out concrete goals, now I want to see where I stand in an international comparison. But I see it that our whole team starts the season well prepared, we can run at the front and don’t have to hide.” , said Svenja Würth from SV Baiersbronn before the first World Cup of the season in Lillehammer, Norway.
After women’s combined was not included in the program of the 2026 Winter Olympics, the women’s combined athletes also want to advertise their sport with exciting competitions.
Last season, the Norwegians dominated most of the competitions around overall winner Gyda Westvold Hansen. Also this time the German athletes are not the favourites. “All in all, I’m in a very positive mood – but we are the hunters, not the hunted: That’s how I want to go into the first competition,” said national coach Florian Aichinger.
