Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The situation for ski jumping legend Ammann is not getting any easier. After his coaches recently decided that he would not be allowed to return to the World Cup squad and would instead have to continue competing in the Continental Cup, he has now been dealt the next blow.
As reported by "Blick", Swiss ski jumping boss Joel Bieri has now also spoken out on the matter and criticized the 43-year-old's recent performances. "We don't give Olympic champions a bonus. The performance principle applies," he warns Ammann.
Ammann is not giving up on his dream
His chances of taking part in the World Championships are also dwindling at the moment. With Felix Trunz and Yanick Wasser, two young talents currently have a place in the World Cup squad alongside figurehead Gregor Deschwanden and the experienced Killian Peier. "Simon doesn't belong at the moment. His performances are not right," is the dry conclusion of the ski jumping boss.
However, Ammann behaved respectfully at all times, praises Bieri: "Simon wasn't angry. He knows himself that he has to improve". So he wants to continue to work on his dream of another World Championship participation in the Continental Cup.
