Oslo - DEThe World Cup in Ski Jumping 2019/20 will continue with the jumping in Lillehammer on Monday. Lillehammer steps in for Oslo. chiemgau24.de is in the live ticker from 5:15 p.m. today.
For Germany's best ski jumper Karl Geiger, the cancellation at Holmenkollen came at the wrong time. But in Lillehammer there is now a double chance against yellow-bearer force. Youngster Schmid can dream a little after the first raw air station.
In some of the pictures from Holmenkollen there was no longer a hill. Heavy fog and strong wind prevented the individual ski jumping from Oslo from taking place on Sunday and caused a shift by one day. Germany's top athlete Karl Geiger has two chances on Monday (5:15 p.m.) and Tuesday (5:00 p.m.) in Lillehammer to catch up with the 118 point lead of Austrian Stefan Kraft in the overall World Cup. The World Association Fis announced the catch-up date on late Sunday evening. Ski jumping: The overall World Cup for men
Youngster Constantin Schmid, who is the leader of the raw air tour to Lillehammer as the leader of the raw air tour, can benefit a little from the cancellation. The overall victory in Scandinavia, endowed with 60,000 euros, is still three stops away for the 20-year-old Schmid, but with a victory in qualifying and as a guarantee for second place in team jumping, Schmid showed his top form. "I'm having a really good run," he said. National coach Stefan Horngacher currently even attests him to be "world class".
Ski jumping: Schmid is modest
Schmid himself did not really want to take on the unusual role as leader, he said after strong flights at Holmenkollen: "My personal favorite for the raw air title is Karl Geiger. I don't think I'm one of the favorites." Apart from his colleagues, the trainers and the fans on television, no spectators could convince themselves of Schmid's qualities at the weekend, because the competitions in Oslo took place without an audience due to the new corona virus.
At the weekend, it seemed unclear how things would go on at the remaining stations in Lillehammer, Trondheim, Vikersund and at the World Ski Flying Championships in Planica in Slovenia. The outgoing race director of the World Federation Fis, Walter Hofer, said in Oslo that it would go on normally with the public in Lillehammer.

It was not clear whether this also applies to Planica not far from Italy and the World Cup (March 19-22). The Slovenian government decided there on Saturday to ban major events with more than 500 spectators in halls. It is possible that this will be extended to the World Flight Championship, where thousands of spectators are expected, in the coming week. A World Cup without a spectator is also conceivable.
Despite the cancellation on Sunday, violinists and others can leave Oslo with a positive feeling, even if the ghost mood at one of the most traditional sports venues seemed strange at all. "We know it occasionally to bring in front of a few viewers, but not here. It's like training with the press and everything," said Stephan Leyhe on ZDF. In addition to Geiger, Schmid and Leyhe, Pius Paschke had completed the quartet in second place behind hosts Norway.
On Sunday there were no jumps at Holmenkollen at all: two hours after the men's competition, the women's first raw air single was canceled due to the permanently lousy weather.
