Killian Peier is definitively not a secret favorite. The 23-year-old Vaud is 3. Rank in the qualification of Innsbruck, the medal contenders at the world Championships in Seefeld.
The Innsbruck Bergisel ski jump is on Saturday (14.30 clock) set the stage for the peak of the ski season. And the Swiss might be involved, contrary to expectations, the front. Both in the training as well as in the qualification Killian Peier jumped into the Top 3. In the pre-divorce by Friday, he had to bend only the two German Markus eisenbichler, Karl Geiger. “Insanely good,” commented the Romand his appearance. “It’s just Fun to jump so far with such a beautiful country.” Of increased pressure, he wanted to know nothing. “I try to stay cool and my jumps.”
Peier leads a Swiss Team that is allowed to complete line up for the Jump. In a Competition in the start-up of Luke 14 to Gate 11 was reduced, also survived Simon Ammann (12.), Andreas Schuler (21.) and Luca Egloff (40.) to make the Cut. The four-time Olympic champion Ammann was 121 m a solid jump. “My Position is still not entirely clean,” said the 37-year-old toggenburg self-critical. “But it goes forward. Team moderately’s good, because I’m infected.”
Kobayashi return
the favorite of The Japanese Ryoyu Kobayashi remains in qualifying immediately behind Peier Fourth. The Asian man returned to his dominant win in Innsbruck on the way to the tour-Grand-Slam as the now eleven-season winner on the Bergisel. He is like the tour in the footsteps of Kazuyoshi Funaki, who was 20 years ago in Ramsau (normal hill), the so far last world champion from Japan. The long season with two flights in the home and return to Europe cost the 22-Year-old but substance.
“I’m a little tired. The last two days were not so good. I hope it will be in the Competition better,” said Kobayashi to the news Agency APA. It was exciting, said the winner of the world Cup in Willingen in short words, he can feel a lot of pressure and I see in the favorites role. “But the feeling is different than in the world Cup.”
Sense of Stoch
Always up for a medal is also the defending champion Stefan Kraft from Austria or the Olympic champion Kamil is likely to be Stoch from Poland. Stoch celebrated in the world Cup after six podium places, two wins (in February during the skiflying event in Oberstdorf and in Lahti). “Kamil has worked very well. The closer the world Cup comes, the stronger he is,” said Poland’s head coach Stefan Horngacher about his number 1.
The Norwegians are a strong Quartet, but to convince completely none can currently. The Germans hope to your “bag of wonders” Eisenbichler and the two-time season winner violinist. The Bayer Eisenbichler had just suffered at the Bergisel in the tour-duel with Kobayashi a setback (13. Place), but since then, more podiums, but no win managed. “Maybe this is the day on which it is said: Today I come,” said Bayer. (sda)
