Podium place for DSV at Triple World Cup in Sapporo

Three competitions in three days took place last weekend in Sapporo, Japan. The DSV was finally able to celebrate an individual podium again.

Friday - Individual Jumping

Local hero Ryoyu Kobayashi made an impressive comeback at his home World Cup. The Japanese, who has not yet been able to match his performances of the last few years, showed with his victory on Friday that he is still a force to be reckoned with. 7.2 points behind was the overall World Cup leader Dawid Kubacki from Poland ahead of Tournament winner Halvor Egner Granerud from Norway.

The DSV could only be happy about one place in the top 10. Andreas Wellinger placed 8th and the second best German athlete was Karl Geiger in 20th place.
