Even at the World Cup in Lake Placid (USA), the German ski jumpers only flew behind. The crisis of the DSV stars, which in overseas without the shaped weak Pius Paschke, reached a new extent on Saturday, which gives up great riddle Karl Geiger, Andreas Wellinger and Co.
In the World Cup jumping in Lake Placid, which the Norwegian Johan Andre Forfang won, the German ski jumpers have achieved their worst World Cup result on a large hill for more than 14 years. With Andreas Wellinger, the best DSV eagle landed in 16th place far away from the top 10.
Most recently, the DSV team achieved such a desolate result in December 2010 in Lillehammer when Michael Neumayer became 19th.
“It is just annoying to me. There is not a lot to be tangible in ski jumping. It is one thing. Then one. To implement it, something else. I have to work out the lightness again,” the former Olympic champion Wellinger struggled with his performance after the next disappointment At the “ARD” micro.
Ski jumping: “Then it doesn’t fly and then it is shit”
Even with the other Germans behind Wellinger, pure frustration again. Philipp Raimund as the 21st, Karl Geiger as 24th and Stephan Leyhe as 26th remained miles behind her skills and demands. Felix Hoffmann even missed the second round as the 31st.
“Somehow I lost the feeling. Then it didn’t fly and then it is shit,” said Raimund clear word. Geiger also put his finger in the wound and emphasized that the performance in Lake Placid was “a step back”: “This is pretty bitter. It is a hemgeous process for the entire team.”
Two and a half weeks before the start of the World Cup in Trondheim (February 26 to March 9), not much indicates that the DSV eagles that started the season in the season can jump in.
