Winter sports: Jumbers get World Cup bronze – injured Görlich cheered with

The German ski jumpers cheered their injured teammate Luisa Görlich. The 26-year-old had dragged herself to the ski jumping out and celebrated the bronze medal with Juliane Seyfarth, Katharina Schmid, Agnes Reisch and Selina Friday.

The German jumpers won the second precious metal in the second competition in Trondheim in Norweg. The quartet of national coach Heinz Kuttin missed the desired title defense, but did not seem sad at all.

“I think that we all did it really well today,” said Freitag, adding: “We’ll be triggered today – but hello!” Only the victorious Norwegians Austria were stronger. “We are very satisfied with every medal that we can win,” said assistant coach Thomas Juffinger.

German jumpers in the team almost always strong

The successful World Cup days go on for final jumper Friday. The day before, she had won silver in singles behind the Slovenin Nika Prevc. The competition in Seefeld in Seefeld in Tyrol in 2019 remains a trump card from the German team. Only at the home game 2021 in Oberstdorf did the German team went away empty-handed, with the other team decisions there was twice gold and now bronze.

Schmid, before her wedding Althaus, was part of the quartet for all three medals. With seven World Cup titles, the 28-year-old is just behind Ski jumps size Thomas Morgenstern, who has won eight gold medals so far. In theory, Schmid could still pass in Trondheim. However, the Oberstdorfer is currently not in top form.

Seyfarth (2019) and Friday (2023) were at team gold once earlier. The Reisch, who rose to the world class this winter, won a World Cup medal for the first time with her teammates. “It’s pretty cool. I can’t realize all winter,” she said, explaining with a view to the medal: “We deserve it.”

Injured Görlich cheered on as a viewer

For the ski jumpers, the first part of Trondheim ends happily after everything started with an injury shock. Görlich suffered a serious knee injury in the qualification for the individual on Thursday. It is “quite good for the circumstances,” she said on ZDF. “The rest will then show after the MRI.” Your return trip is planned on Sunday.

Then the men are in singles, after that it goes for everyone to the big ski jump. There will be further chances of medals on Wednesday (4:00 p.m.) in mixed and on Friday in the second individual (4:15 p.m.).
