Austria's eagle in World Cup fever: Medal hunt in Trondheim begins!

Trondheim, Norwegen - The signs of competition are in Norway, because the Nordic World Ski Championship begins in Trondheim! This exciting week athletes from all over the world gather to show their skills in a total of 27 disciplines. As The press has already been sold, over 200,000 tickets are already sold, and the hosts are ready to demonstrate their dominance in ski jumping and cross-country skiing. However, the Austrian athletes should not be underestimated and already dream of medals.

For Austria, talented ski jumpers like Daniel Tschofenig, Stefan Kraft and Jan Hörl start at the start, all of whom hope for the normal hill and the big hill. Tschofenig, who won eight World Cup jumping, is traded as a "hot tip". The already three-time world champion strength is the only one in a team with individual World Cup medals. Interestingly, the ski jumpers such as Lisa Hirner and Claudia Purker are also part of the impression, which, according to ÖSV head coach Wilhelm Denifl, is a significant development, since young athletes like Hirner have not yet had experience on the big hill. "For our young athletes, the big hill is definitely too early," he said, emphasizing the importance of not risking anything. As the ORF reported , the athletes have also gained experience in the Sommer Grand Prix.

team changes and debutants

There is a setback among men: Martin Fritz has to do without a start in Norway due to a strong cooling. The remaining team, which includes Johannes Lamparter, Franz-Josef Rehrl and Fabio Obermeyr, is reinforced by Lukas Greiderer and Paul Walcher. In the meantime, the cross -country team with Teresa Stadlober and Mika Vermeulen shows that they too are willing to give everything for fame. Four debutants are expected in the team who join their fateful community at this grand event.

A remarkable premiere also expects the spectators to the para cross-country sprint, which will be integrated into live broadcast on March 5 for the first time. In addition to the exciting competitions, fans can look forward to free entry at certain places along the trails. A true folk festival of Nordic sport is expected to be enthusiastic about the public.
