Hayböck disappointed: career end after a failed World Cup appearance!

Trondheim, Norwegen - shock for ski jumping fans! Michael Hayböck, the Austrian ski jumper, lost his last chance at the Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim prematurely. As the "Krone" reported, the silver medalist from Sochi was not selected for the upcoming competitions. The decision of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) caused disappointment with Hayböck, which celebrated its 34th birthday on Wednesday and recently announced his resignation after this season. Instead of competing on the normal ski jump and in the team competition in the competitions, he now has to fly home on Friday after the selection for the team competition fell on Maximilian Ortner.

The Nordic Ski World Cup is completely challenges! While Hayböck had to delete the sails, the qualifications are pending for a large number of other athletes. A total of 61 ski jumpers from 20 nations take part in the qualification for the individual decision, which will take place on the normal hill on Saturday. As skispringen.com reported, high hopes for the German team around Andreas Wellinger, who, after the recently weak performance, has been very back and is ready to sit on one card. The trial run begins at 7:15 p.m., followed by the qualification at 8:30 p.m. An exciting evening for the ski jumping community!

The last hopes

The atmosphere in Trondheim is invited because the athletes hope for their last attempt to recruit medals. National coach Stefan Horngacher was optimistic about the fitness and preparations of his protégés. In addition to Wellinger, who goes into the race with full confidence, Philipp Raimund, Pius Paschke and Karl Geiger are also among the hopes of hope. "We prepared ourselves well in Oberstdorf and will give everything," says Horngacher.
