After he was not nominated for the jumping in Oberstdorf, Markus Eisenbicher was visibly depressed. Now he explained more about it.
Referring to the statement “My heart is bleeding” that he made after he was not nominated for the opening competition in Oberstdorf, the 33-year-old from Siegsdorf put it into perspective: “That was simply Bavarian emotion, but of course I understood the decision.” said Eisenbichler at the ARD microphone.
After his lack of form in December and missing the start of the four hills, his performance has stabilized at the second stop of the traditional competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. After his first set at 129 meters, the six-time world champion commented: “The jump was okay. The weather is nice and I’m very happy.”
