Victoria Carl achieved a strong fifth place finish in the 20-kilometer event at the World Cup in Davos, Switzerland. Throughout the race, she was in contention for a podium position but ultimately finished less than a minute behind the winner, Astrid Oeyre Slind. This race demonstrated her tenacity as she initially kept pace with the leading athletes until the later stages.

The entire German women's team also performed well, with three of her teammates finishing in the top fifteen. As Carl commented on her performance, she reflected on the challenges posed by the marathon distance and the strategic element necessary to compete effectively. She is now looking forward to the upcoming Tour de Ski, which she believes will be a good opportunity for further competition and improvement in her form.

In the men's event, Friedrich Moch also made notable strides but only managed to capture a 15th place finish. The overall competition highlighted a strong showing by both teams, reinforcing the potential for future successes in upcoming races.
