For the first time, two places will officially share the hosting role. Around 2,900 athletes from 90 nations are competing. 47 percent are female athletes, which means the Beijing quota increases by another two percentage points.

Medal table Tokyo 2022: This is how Germany performed

Shortly before the start of the Winter Games in Italy, the German chef de mission decided not to set a specific medal goal. “We don’t have a target at all, the athletes have the target for themselves,” said Olaf Tabor, competitive sports director of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, but added: “We are a winter sports nation, we want to be on the podium, we want to be among the top three nations.”

Four years ago in Beijing, the German team won 27 medals, including 12 gold, 10 silver and 5 bronze. “We are aiming to get the total number of medals back into the range with which we left Beijing,” said Tabor. As in 2018 in Pyeongchang, the DOSB selection came second behind Norway in the medal table.

Tabor is expecting a close race for the podium this time. “We will definitely have a very tough fight.” From the 55-year-old’s point of view, France, the Netherlands, hosts Italy and Japan are among the opponents.

By far the largest German team in the history of the Winter Games is taking part in the Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. There are 86 women and 99 men, around a quarter of the selection belong to the two ice hockey teams.
