Swiss scare: Simon Ammann bad fall Photogallery
For a Stefan Kraft Memorial ranging probably not, and the major naming rights are also awarded to two athletes of the SC Bischofshofen in Pongau long time. The hill is devoted to Paul Außerleitner, the 1952 was so bad fall in training for the Epiphany jumping that he died four days later at the consequences of the fall. The stadium is reminiscent of Sepp Bradl who in 1953 won the first edition of the German-Austrian Four Hills Tournament.
Although already received a total 16 tour victories in Austria and now the last seven series. But it took until 2015 before again jumping from Salzburg should win the legendary competition on four hills. The foundation for the overall victory at Tour number 63 put Bradl young compatriot force when opening competition in Oberstdorf. He had gained 6.9 points ahead (the equivalent of almost four meters).

Mutually they slapped before the decisive jumps again from – and engraving sparkled at most against the footballing preferences of the o ther. Where Barca fan Hayboeck had carved out the biggest praise for him already in Oberstdorf: Since Bayern fan power is bound
“like Messi.”
While coach Kuttin described his new winning jumper as “real tour-hero” who Acclaimed takes all the fuss easier: The “Hill Messi” refers to himself simply as “untwisted boy” who is “like in nature go “and it” can stand for more than 24 hours in the apartment. ” Lucky Charms and similar gadgets he does not need. His success motto is rather simple and widely applicable: “laughter good for your heart.”
