Very good! We had the german championship in september, among other things in oberhof, and that is held on ski rollers and is also the qualification for the world cup and IBU cup. Since you have already seen that many young athletes from the bottom so to speak print and want to make us the places disputed. This is also very good, we have a lot of competition and we have to constantly reassert ourselves. This also raises the quality of the team. We currently have a homogeneous world cup team consisting of six people. Everyone has the potential to make it to the podium, and that’s a great strength for us.
