Representatives of the 20 state ski associations unanimously voted for Steinle to receive another term, while vice-presidents Miriam Vogt, Heiko Krause and Tobias Angerer as well as treasurer Jörg Flechtner were also confirmed.

"The tasks and challenges that we as the umbrella association have to master in the coming months and years are enormous," said DSV President Steinle.

"We will only succeed in this if, as in previous years, we bundle our know-how and all our strengths. 

"I am therefore very grateful that the Association Assembly has unanimously given the entire DSV Presidium the mandate for another election period. 

"Against the background of the current COVID-19 pandemic, this is a great opportunity to continue working on the various topics with a tested and tried team and without friction losses."

Steinle also said that its main focus will be to develop and promote young talent and leisure activities to more casual fans of the sport.

"Compared to other disciplines and leisure activities, skiing has significantly better prerequisites to successfully face the crisis," added Steinle.

"To this end, we have been working closely with various experts on overarching concepts for several months, which we are currently adapting to the respective framework conditions.

"This applies both to the implementation of our World Cup events and the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2021, as well as to all courses and training measures, as well as to all leisure and popular sports."

Germany won four gold, four silver and one bronze medal in skiing at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics - all coming in ski jumping and Nordic combined events.
