DSV in Olympic shape!

The DSV team shows itself in fantastic shape this weekend in Schwarzwald! Geiger wins both competitions, Eisenbichler two times on the podium and also the rest of the squad with strong placements.

Saturday - Individual competition

Karl Geiger's home victory at the World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt two weeks before the Olympic Winter Games provided a huge exclamation mark. The athlete from Oberstdorf won with 132m and 141m jumps and 288.3 points ahead of Slovenia's Anze Lanisek (283.1). Markus Eisenbichler (273.9) jumped into third place. With this victory Geiger also took the lead in the overall World Cup from Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi.

But also the rest of the DSV squad showed a strong performance - Stephan Leyhe (8th) and Constantin Schmid (9th) managed to jump into the top 10. The biggest surprise of the evening was delivered by Justin Lisso in eleventh place. The 21-year-old from Thuringia competed in only his second World Cup this weekend.
