"Too many good people"
ÖSV rookie not allowed to compete in the Four Hills Tournament
Setback for Manuel Fettner: Austria's ski jumping veteran is missing from the ÖSV line-up for the competitions in Engelberg and will also have to watch the Four Hills Tournament. "We simply have too many good people at the moment," says head coach Andreas Widhölzl, feeling sorry for his 39-year-old protégé.

We decided the procedure back in October that we would swap to Titisee-Neustadt. On the condition that someone from the Conti Cup gets the quota place for the tour," explains Widhölzl.
New to the line-up is Markus Müller (22), who recently put in an impressive performance at the Continental Cup in Ruka, Finland, with a victory and a second place.
"There are several reasons why he has the chance to take part in Engelberg: Firstly, it gives him the experience of being in the team before the tour. Secondly, chipping the suits is of course also an issue," explains Widhölzl.
"Difficult decision"
Fettner, who recently came sixth at the World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt, will have to watch and will use the time with additional training sessions for the next tasks. "A difficult decision," says Widhölzl, "unfortunately there are always such decisions!"
