Andreas Wellinger - Ready for the Final Step?

He aims to prove his readiness starting from Lillehammer and hopes to secure the elusive Golden Eagle, awarded to the overall winner of this historic competition. With strong performances leading up to the tournament, he is in high spirits ahead of the new season.
