Two gold medals at the Olympic Games, a silver medal around his neck, four silver medals at the World Championships, 14 World Cup victories and a total of 38 podium places - DSV star Vinzenz Geiger is one of the most successful Nordic combined athletes of our generation.
MASTERING THE HILL AND TRACK
Born in Oberstdorf, he is regarded as one of the best cross-country skiers on the cross-country track and and he is also able to make up lost ground after the ski jumping competition if needed. In order to show top performances on the ski jump, you must be able to rely 100% on the equipment. That's why we are particularly pleased that Vinzenz Geiger is now part of the VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports team. The 27-year-old will be trusting on ski jumping skis from VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports from the 2024/25 World Cup season and wants to get off to a new start on the hill thanks to the change of equipment.
I had a great feeling from the very first test jump and was immediately happy with the material from VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports
says Vinzenz Geiger about his “trust at first sight” of our ski jumping skis. "The service and cooperation with the entire team was also great right from the start and I see great potential in our collaboration."
THE FIRST NORDIC COMBINED ATHLETE IN THE VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports FAMILY
The second German Nordic athlete alongside Andreas Wellinger to work closely with us thanks to our partnership with the DSV ski pool. With the new jumping skis, Vinzenz is not only aiming to secure top results in the World Cup again, but also to contend in the battle for medals at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim in 2025.
VINZENZ GEIGER AIMS FOR SUCCESS WITH NEW GEAR
After intensive testing, he is convinced that he can be successful with the new equipment and explains: "Competitive sport is all about further development. After last season, when things didn't go as well as I had hoped on the ski jump, I wanted to change something." He sets out the direction: "With the equipment from VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports, I want to really deliver on the hill again next season with the highlight of the World Championships in Trondheim."
SHARED AMBITIONS
Pierre Heinrich, Race Director Nordics at VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports, also confirms the strong cooperation: "We have the same goal: we want to fight for top places together in the coming World Cup winter. We are working on this and investing a lot of passion to celebrate great successes in the Nordic combined together with Vinzenz in the future."
