But this Sunday in Innsbruck, so to speak on the opponent court, Richard Freitag showed the hosts to the current flyer Stefan force his ski tails. With his victory at the Bergisel ski jump, the 23-year-old from Aue avoided an ugly anniversary for the black-red-gold Springer. For it was the 50th tour-jumping, since Sven Hanna forest had stood on the podium in December 2002 in Oberstdorf last German top. Since then, mainly from Austria, as well as Norwegians, Finns, Slovenes, a Czech and a Swiss had won.
The thoughts were blocked
It is no surprise that the Germans winning jumper in its ranks have: Severin Freund is the current world champion in ski flying, Richard Freitag recently won before Christmas the World Cup in Engelberg. Brought together with Andreas Wank, Marinus Kraus and Andreas Wellinger friend team gold at the Olympics. Only in competing with the largest broadcasting, the Four Hills Tournament, they have failed so far to their nerves.
Like all things that look easy when they succeed, even ski jumping is a complicated matter, in which you can do much wrong. Especially when too many negative thoughts block the flowing movement from start-up, take-off, flight and landing. Then it is not possible just to get into the flow, which can be seen in width and attitude. Among the Germans, it is sufficient “for Elchspringen,” national coach Schuster had expressed colored according to the most recent disappointments of Oberstdorf and Garmisch. He was referring to competitions as far away as Russia, Norway, Finland, where although there are the same requirements for the skill, but the pressure is not so great because not hingucken so many people.

They had certainly fueled with full-bodied Victory Announcements even further before the tour. In Innsbruck from the German perspective it was almost not matter because the odds were set to tour the overall victory already in the snow. And promptly closed it. The conditions were extremely difficult.
Friday had a long wait for takeoff before his first jump because of changing winds and still kept his nerve. “It is infinitely good,” he said then. And: “It was a lot of fun.” So before had to be given without an audience on a Four Hills Tournament at the Arctic Circle, one of the two German a fore rem embered for what it represents: approach with pleasure in the sport. Then it will come off with the profits. And surprising Away victories are at least as valuable as home victories that everyone expects.
