This Friday evening, the individual competitions of the 2026 Summer German Championships in ski jumping took place on the small hill HS109 in Hinterzarten, Germany. Despite air temperatures below 10° C, Agnes Reisch secured victory with jumps of 103 and 99 meters, accumulating a total of 254.0 points. She narrowly edged out Selina Freitag, who had jumps of 101 and 99.5 meters, and Luisa Goerlich, who took bronze with jumps of 99.5 and 102.5 meters. In the men’s competition, Philipp Raimund was crowned German champion after jumps of 103 and 106 meters. He won by just 2.7 points over Andreas Wellinger, who took silver with jumps of 106 and 100.5 meters. Ben Bayer claimed the bronze with jumps of 106.5 and 101.5 meters. The 2026 Summer German Championships are part of a series of events that take place during the off-season for traditional winter sports, allowing athletes to compete in ski jumping even when natural snow is not available. These events often use artificial snow or alternative training methods to maintain competition schedules. In other related news, the American selections planned for this weekend at Soldier Hollow Biathlon include two sprints aimed at qualifying athletes for future competitions. Meanwhile, French athletes are training in Ramsau, where they are practicing wheel skiing—a variation of biathlon adapted for athletes with disabilities or in conditions where traditional snow is scarce. Additionally, several French athletes have previously won globes in the Junior Cup before its recent discontinuation, including Lou Jeanmonnot, Martin Perrillat-Bottonet, Myrtille Bègue, Anaëlle Bondoux, and Jeanne Richard. In a related development, Oscar Lombardot has chosen to participate in the Summer Tour d'Arçon at home rather than the Loop One Festival, citing a preference for "real race distances." Lastly, the Nordic skiing program for Saturday, 10 October, includes a range of events for athletes and spectators alike.
