Altenberg (pps) A new incentive for the “smaller nations”: In the pre-Olympic winter a so-called wild card for the Viessmann World Cup will be granted for the first time. In addition to the athletes ensured their starting right from the list of seeds and the qualification, a further starting place will be allocated to the athlete who has the best total time from the qualification and the Nations Cup.
