On the small hill, things were anything but ideal for the German Eagles.
That should change today on the big layout.
The decision here in the live ticker.
Update 11:57 a.m .:
The first round of Olympic ski jumping from the large hill is about to begin.
Despite the small dent in form, Eisenbichler and Geiger have good chances of a medal today.
Update 10.28 a.m .: Does
ski jumper Markus Eisenbichler (30) inspire private happiness today?
On the ARD microphone, the DSV-Adler interjected again after qualifying for the show-jumping on Saturday: "May I say hello to my brother?
He got his child today, Elias.
Congratulations Martin, I'm really happy.
When I'm home we'll have a pint on your little one.
Now the stress starts.” It starts today at 12 o'clock.
Preliminary report:
Zhangjiakou - Missed second round by Markus Eisenbichler, 15th place by Karl Geiger and disqualification in the mixed competition.
However, the German eagles didn't quite get along at the Olympic Winter Games on the normal hill in Zhangjiakou.
Therefore, one should be very happy in the DSV camp that the competitions on the large hill are now coming up.
Olympia 2022: Paschke moves into the DSV squad for Leyhe
In individual jumping on the large facility, Eisenbichler and Geiger in particular - who celebrated his 29th birthday yesterday - want to show that there is more to them than was last seen.
National coach Stefan Horngacher has made a change in the squad of four.
Pius Paschke, who was doomed to watch on the normal hill, replaces Stephan Leyhe in the team.
Constantin Schmid completes the DSV quartet.
The 22-year-old finished eleventh on the normal hill as the best German.
It's a little more fun again
Markus Eisenbichler
In the qualification on Friday, two things became clear: On the one hand, Markus Eisenbichler came back impressively after not being nominated for the mixed competition on Monday - sixth place for the man from Siegsdorf.
"I'm on the right track.
It's a little more fun again," Eisenbichler said on
ARD
.
On the other hand, however, it was also shown that these Olympic Winter Games have not so far been those of Karl Geiger.
When the Norwegian Marius Lindvik won, the man from Oberstdorf came in twelfth.
After all: Compared to the training sessions, the birthday child showed a lot of improvement.
It remains to be hoped that Geiger can continue to improve in time for the competition.
