Speed ​​skating

The German speed skaters were the measure of all things. Three out of four decisions were won. Gunda Niemann became the most successful German athlete with two golds and one silver. The women were even able to celebrate a triple success over 3000 meters.
The gentlemen were also successful. Uwe-Jens Mey was able to defend his Olympic victory in 1988 over 500 meters. Olaf Zinke won the 1000 meter distance almost sensationally.

Nordic combination

Even the men around team Olympic winner Hans-Peter Pohl could not intervene in the medal decision. After the jumping, Pohl and Dufter were still placed promisingly, but the poor mileage only allowed twelfth place as the best individual placement. Same picture in the season. After the jumping, the combined athletes were still on the bronze rank, but the only eighth best running time of eleven teams did not allow more than fifth place.

In the men's category, Markus Wasmeier in particular was able to keep up with the world's best , although it wasn't enough for a medal.

Ski jumping

The ski jumping competitions were disappointing from a German point of view. The men around the top jumpers Dieter Thoma and Jens Weißflog , however, did not convince in the World Cup season either. A fifth place in the team competition was the best placement.
