Teamspringen in Zakopane: DSV
Markus Eisenbichler became Euphoric, Karl Geiger grinned satisfied at the camera: One week after the preliminary low point of Bischofshofen, Germany's ski jumpers again proved a rising form curve and has a second place in the team competition of Zakopane. In the occupation of Severin Friend, Stephan Late, Eisenbichler and Geiger, the team of national coach Stefan Forgather had to give only the superior Slovenes on Saturday. Japan, Austria and Norway landed this time behind the German quartet.
That was cool today. We know that we are a good team. We are happy that we have become second, said Eisenbichler, who flew 141.5 meters in the second round, in IDF. Grant for daily rank two was Cayman Geiger, the four-headed winner You Kobayashi with the last jump still a few points decreased, so the DSV quartet past Japan. The boys jumped quite well. Today we were significantly improved, commented Forgather. A week ago, there had been a heavy flap for the team with rank six in the Tonga.
Geiger's Right Hits helps
Karl has made a real hit again, that helped us a lot, Forgather was now. Almost three weeks before the start of the Winter Olympics in Beijing (4 to 20 February), the podium place was also important. Second place helps us extremely. Karl has found the thread again, as he has to jump away from the table. Since the others in the wind shadows can go along with the top jumpers, said Forgather.
It was a very good team performance, also topmast violinist that could be honest. For the athletes behind violinists and railroads it is likely to go to the coveted Beijing tickets in the single Sunday (16.00 o'clock / IDF and Eurosport). Three places are available for Late, Friend, Pius Paste, Constantin Schmidt and Olympic champion Andreas Welling er.
Stitch in the knee: Forgather takes Welling er out
Whether it is physically sufficient at Welling er, however, remains to be seen. The 26-year-old Bayer was leaving police prematurely from Poland after felting a stitch in the knee. As a precautionary measure, he will not go to the start this weekend, the German Ski Association (DSV) tweeted. Welling er had moved a cruciate ligament tear in 2019 and has since massively struggling to fight the sporty connection. At Olympia 2018 he won gold from the normal hill.
