Franz Göring may not compete at Olympic Games

(translated from ski-nordique.net, 11-12-09, “Coup dur pour Franz Göring”)

Franz Göring tore ligaments in his ankle during a workout recently.  He will have to take four weeks off before resuming regular training, so his chances of participating in the Olympic Games are very small.

In his absence, the German team will be composed of Teichmann, Angerer, Sommerfeldt, and Filbrich, with the remaining place perhaps a contest between the young racers Tim  Tscharnke or Philipp Marschall.
