Springer is: Finest leap Weather in Garmisch
New Year and sk i jumping, belong together like New Year and fireworks. There is this one day in the year when the sports world to Garmisch-Partenkirchen looks. Can there be anything better for an athlete, as the attention to employ them? Or the pressure is too great when it comes out of the niche in the public eye?

The German ski jumper left on New Year once more the impression that they do not really have a choice between lust and load. The second competition of the Four Hills Tournament showed Richard Freitag, Severin Freund and Marinus Kraus each a great leap – and a mediocre. That was enough for the feeling to it but may very well just, but it was enough again not for a place on the posting. The victory of the Norwegian Anders Jacobsen, with flights to 135.5 and 136.5 meters with 286 rating points ahead of Switzerland’s Simon Ammann (279.4) and the Slovenes Peter Prevc (276.9) won, took Friday as the best German ninth (261.8 points), just behind him came Severin Freund (260.2) in tenth place. “That’s okay,” said friend, “even if it was not the really big liberation.”

Marinus Kraus, who finished as the third-best German 13th place at the end, had the good fortune to be able to open the New Year’s, and he was excited about: “Weather fits, mood fits, starts the new year really well,” said the 23-year-old from Oberaudorf. Excessive tension he does not feel he assured, even though more than 20,000 expectant audience only once looked at the Olympic hill only to him: “I like that like to jump as number 1, then I know exactly when it’s my turn.” And the young man took his chance, flew to 132 meters, and led the rankings for a long time before the top people displaced him, but he was at least as ninth at the break.
Not so great had happened to the two Vorspringern of the German Ski Association: friend and Friday exercised jointly with Michael Neumayer and Stephan Leyhe accuracy jumps to 127 meters. Thus, their hopes for top rankings were back then. “Our team is not missing much, I have seen more positives than negatives,” analyzed Werner Schuster in a mild way, after he had his knight to similar results in Oberstdorf even harshly criticized.

The kind was obviously the right approach, because in the second round both showed what they can do: Carried by the long-drawn “Zieeh” the flag-waving audience down, first flew Richard Friday at 134.5 meters, then Severin outplayed him friend even one meter, but remained in the scoring just behind his teammate. He was in the break “only times the frustration let out,” explained Friday its performance improvement. “The point is not that far away,” said Severin Freund, after ski flying world champion and Olympic Team Champion almost apologetically: “And we will not stop trying.”

But the world’s elite looks different, recognized Schuster, who came to the conclusion in the ARD that ” a certain amount of stress resistance does not seem to be given “Thus, the German ski jumper met once again be fulfilling prophecy of old masters Sven Hanna forest that had reported after the first competition in Oberstdorf via Bild newspaper critical of the word”. Whenever tour is, they get baked anything. You are again failed at the top, “Hanna forest criticized his successor.
The last German to win a New Year’s event in Garmisch, Hanna forest was himself when he 2001/2002 there and also to the other three jumps his “stuff” better made than any other ever before or since – i t was the year, succeeded him as the Grand Slam.

This peak position must Hanna Forest this season not fear, for the second event, there was the second winner. In-Tournament continues to lead Oberstdorf winner Stefan Kraft (Austria) with 561.9 points. Second is now Prevc (560.8) before Hayboeck (554.8). The best German friend follows relegated to eleventh place (515.2). Friday twelfth (513.2) and Kraus number 14 (495) follow the appropriate places.
Kraus had eased in the second jump of Garmisch, and thus the hierarchy in the team inadvertently restored. Nevertheless, he stuck to his conclusion: “I feel a lot better than the old year.” As he had “pure horror” seen and avoided only with difficulty crashed on the brok en opening event in Oberstdorf. Even the coach had apparently made for the new year to see the world positively: “A bit smaller concerns have grown.”
