Long-term runners Hennig and Gimmler miss the World Cup medal

Katharina Hennig and Laura Gimmler clearly missed the hoped-for World Cup medal in the cross-country skier team sprint. The 28 -year -old Hennig and Gimmler, three years older, took sixth place in the race in classical technology in Trondheim in Norwegian. The Swedishes Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist crowned world masters. Jessie Diggins and Julia Kern from the USA won silver in front of the Swiss Anja Weber and Nadine Fähndrich.

Hope for the season

The German cross-country team continues to wait for a medal at these Nordic World Ski Championships. The only remaining realistic chance of this is probably the women’s relay on Friday.

“You made the best of it. Sixth place. Fits. But no wonder, ”said team boss Peter Schlickenrieder in the ARD. Gimmler recently fought with health problems. In qualification, Hennig, who had won Olympic Gold with Victoria Carl 2022 in China, also fell.

It didn’t go as desired from the start. In the event of constant rain and difficult snow conditions, a group of five settled early. Germany was not one of them. “It will be difficult to close the hole,” said Schlickenrieder. He should be right. Hennig and Gimmler had nothing to do with the fight for the podium places in front of full ranks and enthusiastic spectators.
