Horngacher’s star crisis. It has not recorded such bad results for two years

The Olympic season started perfectly for the German jumpers. Karl is the leader of the overall World Cup classification, Stefan Horngacher’s team is leading in the Nations Cup with a great advantage over Austria. However, not all players of this nation have reasons to be satisfied. The leading German jumper – Markus Eisenbichler – fell into a considerable crisis.

Eisnebichler in trouble. Worst results in two years

The second competitor of the previous season also started the winter well. In Ruce, he was on the podium twice. He was also in the lead in Wisła and during the first competition in Klingenthal. In the second, he made his first slip-up. It took only 40th place. It seemed to be just an accident at work. Engelberg did not confirm this. He was 27 on Saturday, and he was not promoted to the second round again on Sunday. This is the worst series of the world champion in two years.

– I’m just not sure of myself. I think this is the main reason – said Markus quoted by the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. He is also looking for an explanation for Germany in the event from October. During the final competition of the Summer Grand Prix he fell over and was unable to train for several days. This left a mark on the player’s psyche. “Falls work like this on me from time to time,” he admitted.

Despite the crisis, Markus Eisenbichler is hopeful before the 70s. – There is a good chance that he will be in top form again during the tournament – he says. The holiday break is supposed to help his protégé. The Germans hope that after 20 years their jumper will finally win the prestigious event. However, the bigger favorite is Karl Geiger. And the tournament will start on December 28 in Oberstdorf.
