The German hopefuls Karl Geiger and Markus Eisenbichler experienced a rollercoaster of emotions during New Year's. The dream of a tour victory has moved at half-time in the distant future.
While Markus Eisenbichler surprisingly contributes something the German hopes to Austria after his dream start to the year, the attack on the long-awaited victory in the Four Hills Tournament after a New Year's suck is almost finished for Karl Geiger.
In the fight against the seemingly all-powerful Japanese You Kobayashi, the German team will on Tuesday hit back at the legendary Bergen in Innsbruck (13.30 pm in LINEBACKER) to the still to realize touring miracle.
On New Year Geiger was pleased indeed with his buddy Lisa over its subcooled second place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a whisker behind Kobayashi and before the surprise third Love KOS from Slovenia. But his own disappointment after two moderate jumps into the new year and seventh sat deep in Oberstdorf: I'm just pissed.
It had come together several things, that the stop again at the tour happens Sucks who followed the wind unlucky Geiger spoke unusually strong words. It was bitter when you get such a swatter.
Geiger: Only a bird wild competition can help
His dream of Germany's first tour win since Sven Hannibal 20 years ago? To bury. Before the third tour station Geiger has little hope. If everything goes normal, it is not beatable for me, he said, There must have been a bird wild race happen.
Exactly 32.2 points — the equivalent of 18 meters — is Geiger as sixth overall behind the towering You Kobayashi. This is normally an impossibility, said Forgather, but perhaps there is still poetic justice.
The situation seems hopeless, too good to flawlessly currently jumps of the Japanese. Kobayashi took the third World Cup win in a row and the yellow jersey by Geiger, the first ski jumper ever reaches the 25-year-old after the second Grand Slam in the tour of 2018/19.
Eisenbichler with the best starting position from a German perspective
The best position from a German perspective was halfway through the reinvigorated Eisenbichler. On the Olympic hill at Goldberg Bayer missed two flights dream to 141.0 and 143.5 m, although not just about 50 centimeters hill record, but also by 0.2 points or about eleven centimeters Germany's first New Year victory in 20 years.
But that bothered Eisenbichler so not at all. The result was full of cool, he won second place and was very, very pleased, especially with the Springier.
In the overall standings of the six-time world champion in fourth place, the gap to Kobayashi climbed 21.1 points, the equivalent of almost twelve meters. In between are the Norwegian Marius India (-13.2) and the Slovenian climber Love KOS (-17.7).
Score is Eisenbichler but extreme care less, as he stressed that really not at all interested him. Germany coach Stefan Forgather remained optimistic in Innsbruck before jumping on Mount Doom. We do not give up, the Austrian said: I am very satisfied with the current situation. The tour was not running and only in Bischofshofen ended. Each could Kobayashi still challenging, said Forgather, the other tour history depended on how stable he jumps.
Eisenbichler leads discussion with Geiger
On the wind-prone hill in Innsbruck for many touring dreams shattered in the past very often from the German team. Last year it had about caught Geiger, who finished only 16th after a botched first round.
Before traveling to Austria on Sunday morning Eisenbichler led anyhow still a comforting conversation with his longtime roommate. He's doing well again. He does not let it get, he said of Geiger.
