We are on a good way.

That was shown by Andi Wellinger, who was fourth yesterday,” said the Austrian and commented on the goals in Poland: “If we finish in the top 3 in Zakopane, get on the podium, I would be very, very happy.

In individual jumping we should at least finish in the top 10 with two people.” Horngacher demanded: “We have to keep calm now and work on the things that we have analyzed.”
