Despite this, Tabor expressed pride in the athletes' overall efforts, noting that the total medal count was comparable to the previous Beijing Games. He highlighted numerous fourth-place finishes as a source of disappointment, emphasizing the close margins of defeat. Tabor also addressed concerns about the declining performance in disciplines like biathlon and freestyle skiing, stating that Germany must focus its finite financial resources on areas with medal potential.
