Ski jumping scandal: Geiger's suit ensures scandal at World Cup in Trondheim!

While the Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim creates tension, the German Karl Geiger is at the center of violent controversy. After his fourth place in the individual competition on the normal hill, the ski jumper is made serious allegations of fraud from the Polish camp. The Polish media platform Sport.pl provocatively refers to its suit as the "potato sack" and "sleeping bag". This criticism not only attracts the public, also Adam Malysz, the Polish ski jumping legend and current president of the Polish Ski Association, is skeptical: "Either there are still loopholes in the regulations or I just don't know what's going on here." He describes the situation as "strange" what shakes the competition.

successful and controversial

In another section of the World Cup in Oberstdorf, Geiger shone with an excellent overall performance and completed his medal set. After winning gold with the mixed team and silver in the individual competition, he now secured bronze from the large hill. Stefan Horngacher, the Trainer of the German team, praises Geiger for his ability to call up his best performance in critical moments. "I have never been allowed to train such a athlete," Horngacher confirmed, while Geiger explains his successes with a thorough mental preparation: "I try to mobilize all strength and prepare myself all day."

Geiger, who was not entirely satisfied in the first round and was in sixth place, came back strongly in the second round and jumped 132 meters. "It is just incredible what happens here," said the overjoyed jumper. The defending champion Markus Eisenbichler, on the other hand, was criticized after a failed jump and the 17th place. Despite the excitement around violinist and the suit controversy, he is optimistic about the upcoming team jumping in which he strives for another medal. "We know what we can do," he said confidently, ready for the challenge of the next competition.
