The first Olympic champion in women’s ski jumping will not compete in Beijing 2022

Carina Vogt, the first Olympic champion in women’s ski jumping, did not reach the final lineup of Germany for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

Carina Vogt won the women’s discipline in Pyeongchang, but a knee injury took her out of the championship. This is how today’s decision of the German Ski Federation not to include her in the team for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, scheduled for February 4-20 in China, was reached.

The leader of the ski jumping team will be the silver medalist from 2018 and four-time world champion Katharina Althaus. The mixed teams will make their Olympic debut in Beijing, giving the ladies a new chance for medals. However, they still do not get the opportunity to jump from a big chance.

Carina Vogt won the gold at Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. She is also world champion in 2015 Falun, 2017 Lahti, and 2019 Seefeld.
