Given that the first two stages will be played in Oberstdorf, Germany has the right to deploy its national contingent. For this reason, the game will be twenty-six cross-country skiers, thirteen women and thirteen men. This l & rsquo; full list of those summoned. Women- Lucia Anger (SC Oberstdorf) - Julia Belger (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) - Stefanie B & ouml; hler (SC Ibach) - Victoria Carl (SC Motor Zella-Mehlis) - Nicole Fessel (SC Oberstdorf) - Laura Gimmler (SC Oberstdorf) - Denise Herrmann (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) - Hanna Kolb (TSV Buchenberg) - Claudia Nystad (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) - Sandra Ringwald (Skiteam Schonach-Rohrhardsberg) - Elisabeth Schicho (SC Schliersee) - Monique Siegel (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) - Eva Wolf ( SV Agensbach) Men- Thomas Bing (Rh & ouml; ner WSV) - Lucas B & ouml; gl (SC Gai & szlig; ach) - Jonas Dobler (SC Traunstein) - Hannes Dotzler (SC Sonthofen) - Sebastian Eisenlauer (SC Sonthofen) - Andy K & uuml; hne (WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal) - Phillipp Marschall (Rh & ouml; ner WSV) - Florian Notz (TSV / SZ B & ouml; hringen R & ouml; merstein) - Tim Tscharnke (SV Biberau) - Markus Weeger (SC Monte Kaolino Hirschau) - Josef Wenzl (SC Zwiesel) - Thomas Wick (SC Motor Zella-Mehlis) - Alexander Wolz (TSV Buchenberg) These expectations of Frank Ullrich on the Tour de Ski: & ldquo; We are eager to start the Tour de Ski in Oberstdorf and arrive very motivated. Although the world remains the climax of the season, the Tour has a priority & agrave; high also because & eacute; we can deploy a large number of athletes. Among the women are going through a better time than men: the excellent results of Nicole Fessel and Claudia Nystad in Davos have shown that we are on track to achieve the goals that we set. The men's team, however, after the important retreats suffered at the end of last season, & egrave; still in the process of renewal: we must give time time to grow at a very young group & rdquo ;. Ullrich for the condition of general form & egrave; good: & ldquo; During the holidays the boys were fit and especially not suffered seasonal illnesses. L & rsquo; objective & egrave; to stand out during the Tour de Ski, perhaps with some acute. However to make it necessary that everything turns out for the best. The races will be the home of Oberstdorf pi & ugrave; feel of course, the families and friends of the boys will be on site and their typhoid potr & agrave; motivate them further. I would also like to highlight the & rsquo; tireless work of the organizers, that despite the lack of snow have managed to set up a ring worthy of hosting this event, hope & egrave; to repay their sacrifices getting great results & rdquo; These objectives instead of Nicole Fessel, fresh from second place in the 10 km free technique in Davos: & ldquo; I do not see the & rsquo; s time to start the Tour de Ski and above all the races of Oberstdorf. & Egrave; nice to come home and know that my family and friends will be cheering me on along the track. Unfortunately we could not train on the route of the race, but we still had prepared for the best. I feel good, second place in Davos I d & agrave; confidence, but I can not expect to finish on the podium at every race, I'd settle for a top ten. L & rsquo; & egrave main goal, however; to feel good throughout the Tour de Ski, which in optical Worldwide & egrave; something fundamental & rdquo ;. These finally the words of veteran home Germany Claudia Nystad: & ldquo; In recent years, unfortunately I got sick at the end of the Tour de Ski, I hope, therefore, that there & ograve; does not happen again and will have to do it & ograve; eat, drink and sleep well. Not sar & agrave; easy because & eacute; the many shifts do not help in this regard. At Christmas I was in Austria with my husband, I just relaxed for the rest I tried to train in both techniques. My goal & egrave; confirm in the tests free technique, which I hope to always close in the top fifteen. I'll try & ograve; also find me ready in the sprint, although my attention & egrave; directed course on racing away & rdquo ;. & Nbsp; & Nbsp; & Nbsp;
