Ski jumping icon Simon Ammann, 37, was not yet thinking about quitting.Simon Ammann takes the hill to jump still a little boy looking forward to. AOP
the age of 37 years, four olympic gold, one world championship, one world cup overall competition victory. Simon Ammann has achieved in ski jumping in everything, but still not enough. The swiss icon will not even think about quitting. The reason is clear: he is still jumping excitedly like a little boy.
I’m sufficiently curious to get on a really, really good feeling in the air and find new stuff, Ammann told the evening newspaper.
I’m a positive guy.
the New thing Ammann mentions, for example, a new carbon fiber reinforced jump shoes, which he jumps also the Seefeld world championships. Zeal is perhaps not a surprise, but the physical side is – at least to the man himself.
I’m amazed that I’m able to perform physically so well even at this age. We have, of course, other examples, such as ”Nori” (46-year-old Noriaki Kasai ), still a good world cup-a place of snapping the Ammann said.
?
I’m not sure. This is not this easier, if you try to squeeze another three years to get sharp into the top. It doesn’t work that way. Let’s see how long I still have this energy.
