Beside the professional sport Teichmann studies via correspondence at University in Hagen in electro-technology.

World Cup career

Teichmann was sick for a large part of the 2005/06 season and failed to compete in the 2006 Winter Olympics, and due to the Germans selection criteria of either an Olympic medal or a top 10 finish in the World Cup, Teichmann, who won the overall World Cup in 2004/05 has resulted in him being left out of the German A-team for the 2006/07 season. Teichmann will still be able to compete, only he will receive less financing and won't train with the other elite members. [ [http://www.fasterskier.com/news3414.html] Teichmann dropped from A-team]

In June 2006 Teichmann had leg surgery for an injury he had, but he was given a modified wheelchair while he recovered. The wheelchair was made with rollerskis, so that he could still train. [http://www.fasterskier.com/training3483.html] Teichmanns in wheelchair]
