My hope & egrave; that the team continues to express collectively the performances put on display so far. As for summonses, Luise Kummer not garegger & agrave; in World Cup and will give a new chance to Karolin Horchler, which has achieved excellent results in Ibu Cup. Franziska Preu & szlig; & egrave; still in doubt, in all probability & agrave; not & will participate agrave; to 15 km of Thursday & Igrave; decide if and only deploy it on the top time in the mass start and / or in the relay. "
Mark Kirchner, head coach men's team: "We leave a tough weekend. Of course, we were not the 'sick Simon Schempp, but not enough to justify the fact of not being able to start the' year in an appropriate manner. Despite all, I am optimistic. The past years the team was struggling in Oberhof and then grew in Ruhpolding, so if the trend will repeat & agrave; there will be & agrave; an improvement in the second week of competition. In this regard I must say that fitness & egrave; however good and will recover Simon. Daniel B & ouml; hm not garegger & agrave; n & eacute; this week, n ​​& eacute; in Anterselva.
