ÖSV eagle before the big showdown: grabs Austria for gold?

At the Nordic World Ski Championship in Trondheim, the events are all about the weather. On Thursday, the team competition of the ski jumper is on the Großschanze, with the first round to start at 5 p.m. But the weather conditions are unpredictable. How Laola1 reports, the ÖSV eagles, consisting of Daniel Tschofenig, Maximilian Ortner, Stefan Kraft and Jan Hörl, go to the competition as clear favorites to get the first gold medal for Austria.

In addition, there are significant changes in the schedule due to the risk of storm. The competitions of the cross -country skiers and the individual jumping of women have already been preferred, such as Eurosport Notice. The situation for the team competition of the ski jumper, which is supposed to take place at 5:05 p.m., is particularly critical, since a cancellation would be very likely, the storm should not decrease. Such a cancellation could result in far -reaching delays and endanger the plans for Friday, which the athletes have already considered a savior. Head coach Eric Frenzel emphasized: "The goal is to make up for this competition".

Finally, the extreme weather situation is also a danger to the numerous fans. Around 29,000 ticket holders and also many spectators in the surrounding forests have already been expected. But the dangerous wind conditions have led to the gates only opened after 12 noon and parts of a house roof were blown away near the cross -country ski run. The organizers quickly had to decide to ensure the safety of fans and athletes.
