Why Olympic luger Jonas Müller is writing off the overall World Cup

Bitter for Austria’s toboggan team, however. The ÖRV has to get going in the final spurt Hannah Prock and Jonas Müller waive.

Again no start in Altenberg

The Vorarlberg double silver medalist from Cortina d’Ampezzo is currently only one point behind the German in the overall World Cup Felix Lochwhich, however, came away empty-handed at the Olympic Games this year.

Müller does enter St. Moritz on, but will wait for a start at World Cup finals in Altenberg waive. Müller and the ice channel in the Eastern Ore Mountains are no longer friends. Müller also skipped the World Cup there last season, citing line problems and a high risk of injury. This means that there is hardly anything standing in the way of the 36-year-old German before his eighth overall World Cup victory.

Prock underwent surgery

Hannah Prock, who is in fourth place in the overall World Cup, 45 points behind, traveled home on Tuesday with severe abdominal pain and underwent an appendectomy in Innsbruck on the same day. The season has therefore come to an early end for the 26-year-old Tyrolean. This means that hopes for the first victory of an Austrian woman in the overall World Cup since the 1996/1997 season (Andrea Tagwerker) are high Lisa Schulte. The Tyrolean starts the final competitions as the leader.

However, the competition, especially from Germany, is hot on the heels of the 2024 world champion. Olympic champion Julia Taubitz missing from school 15, Merle Fräbel 19 points.
