The Sunday competition took place under changing conditions. The wind had a significant impact on the results achieved. In this aura, the best one was Anze Lanisk and Stefan Kraft.
Many rivals set out to congratulate the winner from Norway. Everyone understood how much this result meant for this jumper.
Tande won almost a year after his unfortunate fall in Planica. “I do not believe”
The story of the Norwegian ski jumper is amazing. He won exactly 346 days after his life hung in the balance. On March 25, 2021, the Slovenian medical service had to resuscitate Tande after he made a mistake just outside the ski jump in Planica and hit the landing hill at over 100 km / h. After being transferred to the hospital in Ljubljana, the Norwegian jumper was kept in a pharmacological coma. At first, we all feared for his life.
The words of the German chilled the blood in his veins, who just after his jump in the trial series wanted to find out what the Norwegian’s condition was. – They said they don’t know if he will survive. I hope Tande will be with us soon and won’t suffer any permanent damage. He’s a very nice guy. It is tragic – he said in ZDF.
Pictures from the hill showed that a resuscitator and resuscitation equipment were used right after the accident. This was confirmed by the Norwegian sports director of Clas Brede Braathen in an interview with TVP Sport. – Right after the fall, Daniel was revived. It looked dramatic. Great respect for and the medical service for professional action – he said.
Tande left the hospital on April 13, he had a long rehabilitation. He did not come back to the hill until the last week of August. He gradually returned to full strength. In December, he already stood on the podium of the World Cup in Klingenthal. After Sunday’s victory in Oslo, he cried and could not believe it. – This is amazing. I don’t know, I don’t believe it. I did not even expect that this winter I will be close to the podium – said Tande in an interview with Norwegian TV NRK. – The fact that I was the second in Klingenthal was just abnormal – he added.
“The fact that Daniel is winning here after everything that has happened since then is absolutely fantastic,” assessed clearly touched Alexander Stoeckl, coach of the Norwegian national team. Anyway, the whole team had tears in their eyes. – This story here … you can’t even make movies like this. No, I don’t have much to say right now, sorry – said the manager of the Norwegian team, Clas Brede Brathen, moved.
There is another important challenge ahead of Daniel Andre Tande. It is about the ski flying world championship starting on Thursday. For him it will mean the first jumps on the mammoth track after the accident in Slovenia. Good form should give him confidence. After all, he was an accomplished flyer in the past. Four years ago in Oberstdorf he won the title of world champion in this profession. He will be among the favorites again in Vikersund.
