Ski Flying World Championships at Kulm: German hopes rest on Andreas Wellinger
For emotional jumper and action fan Andreas Wellinger, ski flying is just the thing.
Shooting down the jump at 100 km/h, jumping off and then sailing through the air for well over 200 meters: the 28-year-old loves that - and in principle he's good at it.
It is all the more astonishing that Wellinger has already climbed onto the podium at almost all of the season's highlights in his sport.
He is still missing an individual medal at the Ski Flying World Championships.
This weekend that should change in Austria.

“It is the first time in his life that he is going to the Ski Flying World Championships in very good shape.
That’s why he has the best chance of finally winning a medal here,” says national coach Stefan Horngacher of the
German Press Agency
.
“He’s not a professor on the hill.
He's more of an instinctive jumper.
For him it has to be intuitive.”

Andreas Wellinger is hoping for triumph at the Ski Flying World Championships
Wellinger has already won Olympic gold and won silver at the World Championships.
Less than three weeks ago he came second at the Four Hills Tournament.
Now he comes to the famous mega ski jump on the Kulm as a great German hope.
“The path is the right one.
I’m looking forward to ski flying,” he says.
“You need the right feeling from the first moment.”
Wellinger has done a lot in the last few months to ensure that he has this.
Almost like a machine, it delivers top performance step by step.
Only once this season has he not ended up among the top five ski jumpers in a World Cup.
Wellinger was annoyed by the loss of the duel for the tour title against the Japanese Ryoyu Kobayashi, but it didn't upset him.
National coach Horngacher: “Ski flying is the supreme discipline of ski jumping”
When the big flying spectacle begins this Friday in Bad Mitterndorf with jumps over 230 meters, Wellinger will be the only German candidate for a medal.
Karl Geiger and Pius Paschke, who also celebrated victories this winter, have lost their top form.
With his engaging manner and good humor, Wellinger can help his colleagues.
“Andi also makes his contribution by bringing some fun into the team,” says Horngacher, who praises the team structure.
The coach also hopes that the fascination of ski flying will release additional strength.
“Ski flying is simply everything times two.
It is the supreme discipline of ski jumping,” he says.
“That’s just the greatest thing.
We have to look forward to that now, go there with ease and just do the jumps and fly well.”
