ÖSV ski jumper get medals, but the gold fails!

Trondheim, Norwegen - The ÖSV ski jumpers have completed the World Cup with a mixed balance. Head coach Andreas Widhölzl said after the competition: "We drive a positive home. But for some it was certainly a bit of disappointing." Only Jan Hörl was able to meet the expectations with a silver and a bronze medal, while the eight-time winner of the season Daniel Tschofenig and the three-time world champion Stefan Kraft could not build on their top form. Despite the disappointing result, the athletes were optimistic. Tschofenig emphasized that it would "not be easy", but he intends to defend the leadership in the overall World Cup. Kraft was also satisfied with his team because they were able to achieve a total of four medals in four competitions.

Daniel Tschofenig, the freshly crowned tour winner, travels to Trondheim with a strong shape. "It definitely pushed me!" He describes his motivation. The 22-year-old ski jumper, who recently caused a sensation with his victory on the four-hill tour, went through a significant development. Widhölzl praises the Carinthian for his discipline and constant increase in performance. Tschofenig's positive attitude and experience from his forced break due to an injury seem to have mentally strengthened him. "There is still enough strength there, the will too," says Tschofenig, who wants to end up on the podium again in Trondheim, like OE24 reported .

Tschofenig aims on medals

Before he departed to Norway, Tschofenig underwent a training phase and expressed that the motto for Trondheim was to "jump very relaxed and cool and to show what we can do on it". After he celebrated his first World Cup victory in December, he is optimistic about the upcoming competitions and hopes for additional medals at the World Cup in Trondheim, such as the press analyzed .
