A New Adventure Awaits: Ski Jumper Pauline Eichhorn to Miss World Cup Season

Pauline Eichhorn, previously known as Pauline Heßler, is about to embark on a beautiful new journey into motherhood. The 26-year-old ski jumper took to Instagram to share her joyous news, posting a heartfelt photo alongside her husband Stefan, accompanied by ultrasound images and the cheerful caption: "1 + 1 = 3: We can't wait to meet you."

Having finished last season ranked 45th in the overall World Cup standings, Eichhorn was anticipated to join the performance group for the upcoming season, which features top competitors like Selina Freitag and Luisa Görlich. However, she has decided to put her ski jumping ambitions on hold to embrace her new role as a mother for now.
