Stefan Kraft scored big last winter as overall World Cup winner and Ski Flying World Champion. He wants to be one of the best ski jumpers in the world again in the new season. Before taking off for the World Cup opener next Wednesday, the super eagle spoke to the "Krone" newspaper about his goals.

"The jumps are going solala," admitted Stefan Kraft on Thursday at the Austrian ski jumpers' media event at the Bergisel in Innsbruck. Austria's high-flyer may have already won everything in his career, but after a great summer he is currently struggling on the hill: "My autumn slump has struck again. The last month was already difficult because nothing worked anymore."
