Every conversation with Simon Ammann is for the ski jumping Seminar. Because Ammann, now 37, and 10.Time at a world Cup, and breathes his Sport for more than 20 years. Therefore, the veteran is talking about in the Hotel, high above Innsbruck, where on Saturday the Jump on the large hill will take place, on the perfect V, the perfect body tension or pain patella ends of the tendons. For the purpose of recovery he renounced the training, will be today in the qualifying.
Killian Peier, of the season, newly promoted and a Leader in the Swiss Team, says dryly: “The shape is right, I am looking forward to the Competition.” In Training the day before yesterday, he flew under the Best.
anyone Who has seen the two athletes, you realize quickly: it distinguishes more than about 14 years of life. Peier is a quiet, rather introverted, to keep Ammann, the feisty lateral thinker with Schalk, eloquence, and the Talent, coaches as well as colleagues with demands on your toes. Finally, he is also a father, entrepreneur, Student. To bring these facets of his Jumpers being in line, made him for the colleagues and sometimes unpredictable. In the previous season preparations, it could happen that he filed shortly before a training trip: “I’m not coming.”
Since it is him from the Rest of the team, and him with Roger Kamber a private coach to the side, were separated last summer and fall, two Swiss Teams on the way: Ammann and the Rest of Killian Peier. The Romand flourished, and this Winter, often in the Top 10 jumps, depends on this distribution.
“It is a advantage for me is that Simon goes its own way. He claimed a lot of time that was for us, Boy.”Kilian Peier
Finally, are the claims. Ammann is fighting to return to the top. The boys are still in training. Both had a Team of bad associations. Ronny Hornschuh, who previously led the whole team and to Peier and colleagues care, says diplomatically: “The separation has helped.” Peier says: “It is a advantage for me is that Simon goes its own way. He claimed a lot of time that was for us, Boy.”
In other cycles
quarrel had the Springer never, but in different cycles. Ammann has everything to learn, and what there is in his Sport to life: climb, breakthrough, setbacks, title, and a serious fall. He knows what he wants and how he, once again, success would come.
Peier with his 23 years of apprentice time and has yet to discover what it takes to be among the Best. That is what he can with horn-Shoe in the last months of work without having to Ammann. Berni Schödler, the Swiss ski-jumping-in-chief, says this: “Killian needs to get there, where Simon once was. That’s why Simon is no longer interested sometimes for certain forms of training, because he found that he had already done x times, which would bring him nothing more.”
pressure from the boss
Peier-coach horn Shoe says: “Killian I can develop him, pretend, what I would like to. That was Simon different. He knew what he wanted. I always had to argue with him again, if I was of a different opinion. In this respect, the work for me is now a bit easier and more predictable.”
Especially since the future of Peier. If Ammann is whizzing after season on the hills, he says: “I’m not talking about the future.” It is clear that Classified further beyond the Top 10, will be able to discipline the chief Schödler two Teams to afford or want. About Ammann at the Moment, not to think. Instead, he says in regard to Peier: “The separation resulted Yes.”
The progress stimulate him. Finally, he is athlete enough. To be only the Number2 in the Team, miss Ammann falls. Jealous of the often better classified Peier, but he is not. He is happy for him? unplayed. Ski jumping chief Schödler says: “Simon is generous in his Thinking, and give Killian the good results.” Wherein Ammann wants to have recorded, in typical fashion for the big jump: “It has been in my thoughts already in place for a medal At least, I don’t want to prevent the possibility for it to be mutually exclusive.” But he also knows: If you are a Swiss trust, rather then Killian Peier.
