German Olympic tickets awarded - nomination will take place on 11 January

Berchtesgaden (BSD/FIL) Following the World Cup in Winterberg, national coach Norbert Loch and the BSD Executive Board agreed on the nomination recommendations for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing. Team Germany has three starting places each in the women's and men's singles and two for the Olympic decision in the men's doubles. The internal Olympic qualification was held in the six previous World Cup races plus one additional race on the Olympic track in Yanqing. The following BSD athlete:s are recommended to the DOSB for Olympic nomination:

Women: Julia Taubitz (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal), Anna Berreiter (RC Berchtesgaden) and Natalie Geisenberger (SV Miesbach)

Men: Johannes Ludwig (WSV Oberhof), Felix Loch (RC Berchtesgaden) and Max Langenhan (BRC 05 Friedrichroda)

Doubles: Toni Eggert / Sascha Benecken (BRC Ilsenburg/RT Suhl) and 
Tobias Wendl / Tobias Arlt (RC Berchtesgaden/WSV Königssee)

"We hope that all of them will stay healthy and prepare for the Olympic Games in a concentrated way rather than resting in the last three competitions," explained BSD Sports Director Thomas Schwab. "The final nomination is on 11 January, and until then Dajana Eitberger, Chris Eißler and Robin Geueke/David Gamm are still available as Olympic replacements in any case. Unfortunately, we are still in the middle of the pandemic, and the risk is great that someone else will be infected with the coronavirus at short notice and drop out. That's why we are glad that we still have such good athletes who could also successfully stand in at the Olympics."
