Good evening, dear fans of ski jumping! After you yesterday hopefully briefly kidnapped in the magical world of Zakopane have, we have now arrived back in reality. Or in Wonderland (of ski jumping).
Today was the place for tomorrow's qualifying competition in Zakopane !
to First of all: all Germans are qualified!
particularly of doing this in the 21-year-old Andreas Wank emphasized.
He jumped today in qualifying with 125.0 yards on rank 3 In the 16th the overall World Cup standings it is still running smoothly. Last weekend, he jumped in the absence of many ski jumping aces at No. 2 (behind Thomas Morgenstern!) And 5th in Sapporo, Japan. After this''Aha effect''he seems now much more confident and relaxed. Jumping today, he drew my opinion, still not its full potential. But tomorrow, but hopefully!
One should know this, that is familiar Andreas Wank with jumping facilities in Zakopane right
. It was 2008 Single-and two days later, team world champion on the little hill . Moreover, say the German champions in ski jumping in 2009 or Michael Neumayer nor Martin Schmitt , which also not in Poland are one of the party, but Andreas Wank !
Let's hope for the best of it tomorrow, because I think he's at least the quality of Pascal Bodmer currently has in his leaps, and how that is currently on it, is well known, quite well (in the top Ten )!
Overall, the weeks of interest to coach Schuster. Because he has to slow even worry about who he takes after Vancouver (Whistler ski jumping competitions in ) in mid February. Martin Schmitt seem set (if recovered), Michael Neumayer , Michael Uhrmann and Pascal Bodmer . Most likely, this quartet is also in the team competition come into play. However, now for the two individual competitions on small and large hill still one spot free. So who is fifth man?
Decision runs on the following athletes: Andreas Wank , Georg Spaeth , Severin Freund and opportunities almost zero gene Maximilian Mechler .
the time would probably be nominated Wank . As his replacement probably would with Spaeth.
Let's see who stand out from those listed above candidates in the next few races before the Olympics yet and thus can secure a ticket to Whistler Mountain .
again after the little trip into the inner life of the German national ski jumping team now qualification!
The Finn Matti Hautamäki won the superior quality with a flight to 133.0 meters.
Hautamäki is one of the most successful jumpers in his country and is traditionally almost right until the second half of the season going. Due to his recurring knee problems, he came the last two years not really take off. He is considered an excellent ski jumpers and had a short time once the world record in it.
Whether he is for tomorrow as favorite out of the question?
I think so, because he is in training previously been the best . Does he have reasonably good weather conditions, tomorrow, things can go for him.
Hammer of the day:
The newly crowned champion and former Norwegian ski jumping Four Hills Tournament winner Anders Jacobsen did not survive the qualifying!
After a completely botched take-off he was jumping over all of the remaining no longer teach in the flight position (upper body twisted!) And finished 47th of 50 Starters at d esasterösen 104.0 meters.
On Saturday morning, but it has a new chance to qualify for competition in the evening.
What we learn from today? sweeten
The good conditions in a leap ( Hautamäki / Wank ), poor ( re ) spoil the conditions of a jump can ( Jacobsen ).
also a newly constructed self-consciousness does not always help. Sapporo was Andreas Wank jump to a jerk on, the Norwegian ski jumping championships Anders Jacobsen such a big jerk, that he could not control the flight ...
morning jumping clock at 16.00 (live on the ARD / Euro Sport) in any case very interesting and worth seeing! The''eternal''
favorites already jumped sharply (and the local Pole Adam Malysz ). overall World Cup leader Simon Amman of Switzerland were released today from the qualification. He was in fact not even arrived on site (after exhausting trip to Japan one day more rest). Tomorrow, he will jump but safely!
Until then,
Moritz
