On the small hill, things were anything but ideal for the German Eagles.

That has now changed on the large system.

Karl Geiger brings Germany a medal.

The live ticker.

Update 2:08 p.m .:

Karl Geiger admits to ZDF that a mountain has fallen from his heart.

There is no longer enough stone.

"I wouldn't have thought it anymore.

It's really really cool." He just felt better and better, but "I didn't have a medal on my list anymore".

Update 2:02 p.m .:

Markus Eisenbichler struggles a little on ZDF despite a fifth place: “I should have jumped even longer in the first round, but the bottom line is we have a medal.

That's the most important.

And I'm proud of myself and happy for Karl."

Update 1:50 p.m .:

Teammates Paschke and Schmid are also amazed: “You couldn’t count on that,” it says after Karl Geiger’s bronze medal.

Coach Stefan Horngacher says: "I know what Karl can do."

One person's joy, the other's sorrow: Markus Eisenbichler put in a great second round, but was "only" fifth.

Both had not made a good showing on the normal hill.

Even in training there was little to suggest a medal.

Therefore, the performance explosion of the two comes as a bit of a surprise - but just in time for the team competition that is still to come in Beijing.

Olympic ski jumping live - riddles about Eisenbichler and Geiger

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.

The man who was able to snatch the most World Cup victories of all ski jumpers, Gregor Schlierenzauer, explains Karl Geiger's current condition on the ZDF microphone: "That's interesting in any case." Both Eisenbichler and Geiger had passable trial runs.

Now is the time.

50 jumpers are at the start.

First of the four Germans will be Pius Paschke with the 29.

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.

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.
