Killian Peier renounced
In the Swiss team, Killian Peier does not participate in the World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt. He would like to take a break in the direction of the Olympics. Dominik Peter is back after his injury break and qualified with a solid 29th place. Gregor Deschwanden also proved his increasing form as sixth in the qualification. Simon Ammann also came into the competition confidently.

Strength back in the team
Back in the Austrian team is Stefan Kraft, who recently paused in Zakopane to complete an intensive training session. He is also the only, so far fixed Olympic starter in the ÖSV team, although it is foreseeable that after their early performances in the season, Jan Hörl and Daniel Huber should also have a place. In addition to them, head coach Andreas Widholzl has nominated Manuel Fettner, Philipp Aschenwald, Daniel Tschofenig and Clemens Aigner for the competitions in the Black Forest.

In addition, the national group is at the start. Martin Hamann, Philipp Raimund, Justin Lisso and Richard Freitag made the cut into the competition. David Siegel retired in 51st place.

Corona worries in the ski jumping circus
Shortly before the Olympics, corona worries are growing in the ski jumping circus. In the German team, it was Andreas Wellinger who actually wanted to fight for the remaining places this weekend. With Daniel-Andre Tande, Fredrik Villumstad and Johann Andre Forfang, the Norwegians have to suspend three athletes after positive tests. Marius Lindvik has also gone into quarantine as Tande’s contact person. For the Poles, Dawid Kubacki and Piotr Zyla have tested positive.
