Lessers sensational degree and Friedrich's dominance

Biathlon: Outstanding were the Olympic single win of Denise Herrmann and Season Bronze of the ladies. The men stayed without a medal for the second time after 2010. In the World Cup there was a total of four victories for the team (1 ladies, 3 men), with the sensational success of Erik Lesser in his penultimate career race be remembered.

The German women remained victorious in the Monobob - in the World Cup and Olympia. Only in the EM Jamanka brought the title. Note 1

Figure skating: The German skid artists have lost the connection to the world top. At Olympia, there were serial disappointments, at which EM provided the couple runners Minerva Hare / Nolan seagood as eighth for the best result. Even at the World Cup in Montpellier, the German prospects are cloudy. The fact that 2018 Olympic champion Aljona Savchenko will work for the Dutch and not for the German Association in the future is another defeat. NOTE: 5

If still pitch stone runs on the front...

Skin running: No podium placement in the World Cup, neither at EM and WM nor at Olympia a medal - the speed speed runs continue the competition and the success of earlier years afterwards.

In the women who were not there at Olympia, the Germans did not count to the absolute world top. NOTE: 2 -

Geisenberger and the gold noise in the ice channel

** toboggan: The team of national coach Norbert Hole is the measure of all things. The German Roders initially grabbed the victory in all four disciplines in the overall World Cup. Then the gold intoxication followed the winter games with four Olympic styles, thereafter two silver. Natalie Geisenberger is now Germany's most successful winter Olympionin. NOTE: 1 +

Shorttrack: The World Cup in the Canadian Montreal is still on. Because of the war in Ukraine and the Corona Pandemic, the championship was relocated to the 8th to 10th April.

In jumping only the big litter is missing

In the winter games in China, the second place in the TeamEvent polished the balance in total. Note 3-

Ski Freestyle: Daniela Maier surprised at Olympia with bronze. After the objection of the fourth-placed Swiss Fanny Smith, however, is not yet clear if she is allowed to keep her medal. In the World Cup, Maier and the rest of the German SKICROSSER rarely enough for the very front places. In the park, in the pipe or in the art emming, the Germans move mainly outside the top ten. NOTE: 5

Snowboard: Ramona Hofmeister won the Alpine Total World Cup for the third time, Stefan Baumeister was second. Martin Nörl was the first German to win the big crystal ball in snowboardcross. Ironically, Olympia disappointed the successful German snowboarders - but with the exception of the young freestyler Annika Morgan. NOTE: 2 -
