Overview
- After a difficult season that included a low World Cup standing, 36th at the Four Hills and omission from the Ski Flying Worlds, Andreas Wellinger rebounded in Willingen with sixth and eighth places and a 150.5‑metre jump.
- Head coach Stefan Horngacher said two medals would be a satisfying Olympic return and insisted he trusts any of his athletes to deliver.
- Germany’s four-man roster is set with Philipp Raimund, Felix Hoffmann, Pius Paschke and Andreas Wellinger.
- Karl Geiger did not qualify for the Olympics and is an alternate despite a late podium in Willingen, which Horngacher said came too late.
- Horngacher said the squad heads to the Games with a good feeling, though Willingen’s results are an imperfect benchmark because some top jumpers were absent.
