At the Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, German skeleton competitors Susanne Kreher and Jacqueline Pfeifer delivered outstanding performances, securing silver and bronze medals in a thrilling competition. Kreher, a former World Champion making her Olympic debut, surprised many by finishing in second place, only behind the impressive Janine Flock of Austria. Meanwhile, Pfeifer, who was among the favorites, claimed the bronze medal, adding to her past Olympic silver from Pyeongchang eight years ago. Additionally, reigning Olympic champion Hannah Neise narrowly missed out on a podium finish, placing fourth in the event.

This event marked a continuation of the successful run for German sledders, with Kreher's and Pfeifer's achievements bringing the total count to nine medals in seven races, which highlights their dominance in the sport. The victory reinforces the strength of German sports in winter disciplines, particularly in skeleton, where athletes have consistently performed well in international competitions. The success in Cortina d'Ampezzo not only boosts individual athletes' profiles but also elevates Germany's standing in the overall medal tally of the Olympics.

In addition to the achievements of Kreher and Pfeifer, other German athletes have also performed notably in the Winter Olympics, including silver medals in other disciplines such as ski jumping. This showcases the depth of talent within the German winter sports teams and sets a positive tone for future competitions. The performances in Cortina are likely to inspire upcoming athletes in the country and add to the legacy of German achievements in Olympic winter sports.
