Nordic Ski World Cup: Silver joy in the lift: Ski jumper Friday shines again

Selina took the congratulations on her third World Cup medal on Friday in the warm-up room on the ski jump. She drove down in the lift for the award ceremony. Due to strong winds, the competition in the atmospheric and ultimately stormy granases Skienter in Trondheim was broken off before their second jump, one set of 131 meters was enough for the best German ski jumper.

“It was a real, really cool World Cup,” said Friday enthusiastically in the ARD. “It’s nice that I could end it like that.” National coach Heinz Kuttin said: “Of course this is absolutely world -class for the Selina. She jumped a great world championship and drives home with two silver and a bronze. We did not expect that.”

To demolish, the 54-year-old said: “It is exactly the right decision. It was no longer to be calculated.” Expert Sven Hannawald also stated: “If you are a passenger, it is also stupid in ski jumping.”

Great tension before the competition

On Friday, once again, only the outstanding winner Nika Prevc had to give up from Slovenia. Bronze went to Eirin Maria Kvandal from Norway.

The tension was enormous before the competition, Friday reported when her next medal coup was not yet clear. “I didn’t even manage to fly here. To make it in the competition is really relieving,” said the 23-year-old after unsatisfactory attempts on the big ski jump.

The Saxon shaped the World Cup from the perspective of the German jumpers. Already in singles from the normal hill she got silver behind the 19 -year -old Prevc. In addition, she made her contribution to bronze in the team with Agnes Reisch, Juliane Seyfarth and Katharina Schmid. At first she did not allow her to elicit her party plans. “The evening is long. We will definitely eat well and then let’s take a look,” said Freitag.

World Cup ends disappointing for Schmid

While she was allowed to cheer again and at the latest at this World Cup, become the best German jumper, the title fights for the long -time guarantee of success Schmid end with the next disappointment in singles. After a jump to 100.5 meters, the Oberstdorfer again had nothing to do with the medal ranks.

Schmid has won ten World Cup medals in her career since 2015, including seven gold. It is very questionable whether she will be there at the next world championships in two years. Already last summer she thought about a career end.

Even before the jumpers’ competition, the third last World Cup day for the German athletes was very successful. The Nordic combiners won gold with the team. The German cross-country skiers won relay bronze.
