The DSV Adler achieved a good result in ski jumping in Zakopane. All six DSV Adler qualified for the individual competition on Sunday. Only Karl Geigerā€™s performance casts a small shadow over the otherwise good result.

Andreas Wellinger impressed again with a strong jump. The 28-year-old finished the qualification second overall (154.8). Only the Austrian Stefan Kraft flew further (157.9).

The second best German was Stephan Leyhe, who again showed a stable jump (-14.2).

Raimund came 15th in the individual competition

Philipp Raimund was also satisfied after his jump. The Gƶppingen native has had to struggle with his form recently, but he mastered the qualification confidently (-16.2). ā€œItā€™s always very difficult in ski jumping not to tense up. But now Iā€™ve finally managed it again,ā€ he said.

Constantin Schmid showed a solid jump, and at one point he even took the lead in qualifying: ā€œI gradually improved and did a few things better,ā€ he said in the Sportschau interview. ā€œIā€™m not here to win, but to gain experience and fight my way back.ā€

Geiger only 64.

Things were less successful for Karl Geiger. The Oberstdorfer only qualified in 64th place and continues to run after his performance. Pius Paschke also had a bad day and finished directly behind Geiger in 65th place.

All six DSV jumpers qualified for the jumping on Sunday. It has not yet been decided who will be nominated for the team jumping on Saturday.
