Long-time enthusiasts will already know how to use a double criterion in Germany. Athletes - in addition to being divided by working groups - receive a status (reported in parentheses) that indicates a further internal hierarchy within the group.
By simplifying the system, it can be stated that:
* Generally being included in the 1A working group and enjoying status A at the same time means having the place secured in the World Cup at the beginning of the next season.
* Having status B and inserting into the 1A workgroup means enjoying more consideration than who has status B and inserted in group 1B.
* Finally, junior, except for exceptional cases, is assigned status C to indicate their age range.
This is the composition of the German jumping team for 2017 - '' 18:
WORKING GROUP 1A (A) EISENBICHLER Markus (1991) (A) WELLINGER Andreas (1995) (B) FREITAG Richard (1991) (B) FREUND Severin (1988) (B) GEIGER Karl (1993) (B) LEYHE Stephan 1992) (B) SIEGEL David (1996) Group 1A expands from 6 to 7 athletes. Markus Eisenbichler and Karl Geiger were promoted by Group 1B, where Andreas Wank was relegated.
In addition, men with Status A were halved, only granted to the aforementioned Eisenbichler and Andreas Wellinger. Instead, they lost Severin Freund, Richard Freitag and Stephan Leyhe. A clear sign of how in Germany was decided to raise the stalk.
Change the other members of the group. Andreas Wank and David Siegel were promoted, while Markus Eisenbichler and Marinus Kraus were relegated. There is also missing Michael Neumayer, who however hung the skis at the nail.
WORKING GROUP 1B (B) BAER Moritz (1997) (B) FUCHS Tim (1997) (B) HAHN Julian (1997) (B) HAMANN Martin (1997) (B) HOFFMANN Felix (1997) (B) KRAUS Marinus 1991) (B) SCHUBERT Johannes (1997) (B) WANK Andreas (1988) (C) SCHMID Constantin (1999)
Group 1B remains 9 athletes, but is profoundly renewed. There are 4 confirmed. This is Tom Fuchs, Julian Hahn, Martin Hamann and Marinus Kraus.
Addition to them is Wank, who was degraded by group 1A - as well as four young or very young, namely Moritz Baer, ​​Felix Hoffmann, Johannes Schubert and Constantin Schmid.
For obvious reasons, Markus Eisenbichler and Karl Geiger are not promoted in group 1A. In addition, Pius Paschke, Adrian Sell, Jonathan Siegel and Paul Winter were cut off.
