TEAM COMPETITION

GERMANY AHEAD OF THE AUSTRIANS. POLAND ON THE PODIUM.

German team won the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup team competition at Wielka Krokiew Hill in

Zakopane. Karl Geiger, Markus Eisenbichler, David Siegel and Stephan Leyhe were ahead of

The rivalry on Saturday was on a very high level – seven teams managed to gain more than

one thousand points. If only Johan Andre Forfang hadn’t been disqualified also the

Norwegians could end the competition with such a note. Two ski jumpers broke the hill size

record – firstly, Markus Eisenbichler with a jump of 143 meters and then, Dawid Kubacki

jumped 0.5 longer than the German athlete. Before, Kamil Stoch was the record holder.
