The German skeleton athletes took advantage of their home advantage, and all four German starters placed among the top five. Christopher Grotheer, who did not compete in the World Cup in the 2019/20 season and was only able to compete thanks to Felix Keisinger's Junior World Championship title, was crowned the surprise world champion. Although Axel Jungk had the fastest time in three of four runs, he had to settle for second place. Alexander Gassner secured bronze. For the second time since 1991, all three medalists came from the same country.^[3]
