After the podium in Sapporo, the German ski jumper Andreas Wellinger is ready to take part in his home event, that of Oberstdorf, Germany. On Friday, Germany defended Andreas Wellinger and Pius Paschke in the Super Team. Andreas, who jumped as second in the German team's line up, jumped 230.5 m in the 1st Round and 206.5 m in the Final Round. Germany placed 6th, with a total score of 828.5 points. On Saturday, in the qualification Andreas qualified 4th, jumping 226.0 m and scoring 213.8 points. In the 1st Round he placed 8th, jumping 219.5 m and scoring 198.5 points, enough to qualify for the Final Round. In the Final Round he placed 6th, jumping 223.0 m, with a score of 227.7 points and with a total score of 426.2 points. Finally, on Sunday, in the qualification Andreas qualified 7th, jumping 209.0 m and scoring 178.2 points.  In the 1st Round he placed 4th, jumping 221.5 m and scoring 213.5 points, enough to qualify for the Final Round.  In the Final Round he placed 7th, jumping 215.5 m, with a score of 200.4 points and with a total score of 413.9 points.  The qualification that was scheduled for Thursday was moved to Saturday due to the wind. For Andreas Wellinger it was a bittersweet weekend and since even the second position in the general classification has now become unattainable, his goal now is to consolidate third place in the general classification in the World Cup. 

Until next time!
