I don´t know what illness Katharina have. Sorry. But I don´t think it is something serious!
Shira Willner will also not participate in the JGP. I heard something about injury, but also something about "not in form".
Sarah will skate and is really happy that the season start. She was injured in the summer, and her normal training rink is not open until November. She trains in another rink in Mannheim but the ice times are not so good and really less. So the prepariton was not good. Hope she have a good season start!
Peter Liebers and Franz Streubel are the 2 men for Nebelhorn. Philip Tischendorf was injured again and Nebelhorn is too early for him.
In IceDance, I think, everyone know that the Beiers have retired and Hermanns changed to Berlin to Rene Lohse and will start the season later. Frohberg-Gießen will start their season with Finlandia. So Nelli and Alex are the only dance couple for Nebelhorn.
Pairs, mmh, Hausch-Wende will skate. The new pair Katharina Gierok and Florian Just will not skate Nebelhorn because of Katharinas injury.
Not a good season start for the German team with all the injurys!
