Germans grumble
“Totally stupid!” Anger about new ski jumping rule
Big anger among the German ski jumpers! Markus Eisenbichler can't understand why landing mistakes will be punished even more severely in future. "Totally stupid", grumbles the 2019 world champion.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The FIS has announced that there will be an innovation in the coming season: an unclean landing will result in more points being deducted than before.
"If you fly a long way and mess up the telemark, you won't be on the podium - that's just not fair," Markus Eisenbichler says in an interview with Bild.
"We're not in figure skating or dressage"
He receives support from his team-mate Karl Geiger. "We're not in figure skating or dressage here," the German clarifies. Postscript: "The longest and best jump has to win!"
The new rule is obviously not really going down well with many athletes. One thing is certain: In future, landing will be an absolute endurance test for ski jumpers, as mistakes are no longer allowed.
