The best German ski jumpers have mastered the first qualification for the new World Cup winter, but still have room for improvement. Karl Geiger (23rd), Markus Eisenbichler (37th) and Andreas Wellinger (38th) made it into the top 50 in Wisla, Poland.

Constantin Schmid, Pius Paschke and Philipp Raimund, who was surprisingly the best German in fourth, are also qualified for the first individual this Saturday (4 p.m. / ARD and Eurosport).

Dawid Kubacki from Poland won the first preliminary of the winter. The season starts a little earlier this season because of the soccer World Cup and on mats instead of artificial snow as usual.
