There was a lot of partying, but little sleep. The German national team really let it rip on Sunday evening. The whole team was a guest at the German House and celebrated their silver medal there. “It was brilliant,” enthused Yannic Seidenberg, who, like his teammates, was later brought onto the stage – to thunderous applause from those present. Of course, the champagne shower couldn't be missed. World ski star Lindsey Vonn was among the guests and was thrilled.
“The entire tournament, everything surrounding it – it’s something that will last forever. People will still be talking about it in 50 years,” said Gerrit Fauser. Marcel Noebels had a plan: “We’ll make ourselves immortal here too.” No sooner said than done. It wasn't until around four in the morning that the German entourage left the house and drove to Seoul. A silver medal safely stowed away in my luggage. “It’s still hard to believe. But in a few days we will realize it,” said Marcus Kink.
The team will fly from Seoul to Frankfurt, where it is scheduled to land at 16.45:XNUMX p.m. “We tried to get a few more good seats, but the plane is full. Let’s see what we can still achieve,” said Marcel Goc before departure. That means: Everyone just wants to sleep - and ideally in a comfortable seat. The journey takes ten hours. Then we go back to our home locations.
“Let’s wait and see how I feel. When you come home after such a success, you need something to process it all. Physically and mentally,” notes Patrick Hager and added: “Above all, I’m looking forward to my family. The time without her has been really long now.” That’s right. The tournament also lasted longer for the German national team. It was even nicer.
