The skeleton athletes Axel Jungk and Susanne Kreher are now competing for Dresdner SC. The 2022 Olympic silver medallist in Beijing and the 2023 World Champion in St. Moritz are moving from BSC Sachsen Oberbärenburg to the Elbe just a few months before the start of the Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

"We were a bit taken by surprise that Oberbärenburg is having financial problems. I already have a good relationship with the DSC through athletics coach Stefan Poser. There is a different kind of cohesion and greater appreciation here," said Axel Jungk. There was also criticism from Kreher: "We were members of Oberbärenburg on paper, but there was no real sense of belonging. I've been training and living in Dresden for five years anyway, I feel very welcome here and I'm looking forward to winning medals for the DSC in the future, if I win any."
Jungk and Kreher are in the middle of their preparations for the Olympic season. Jungk, who finished third at the World Championships, has been selected for the World Cup team, while Kreher, who finished sixth at the World Championships, still has to qualify.
