For four out of five Swiss it applies to the Nordic World Championships in Planica (sln) already seriously today: in the official training they compete for the remaining starting places for the first World Cup competition on the small hill. Gregory to disappear, the best and most consistent of this winter, has secured his ticket for Friday’s qualifying. The rest must prove themselves in the early afternoon.
The trainers don’t stop at big names either. Ski jumping legend Simon Ammann (41), whose form curve slowly but surely showed an upward trend in time, must continue to tremble. And even in front of a junior.
Remo Imhof, the 19-year-old talent from Muotathal, does even never jumped in the World Cup, but most recently competed in the Junior World Championships in whistler (Ka) convinced in eighth. And he took care of it Klingenthal in the Continental Cup, ie one step below the World Cup, where second place caused a sensation. At Swiss-Ski they now want to give him a fair chance at the World Cup on Saturday. The scenario that Imhof, who is not even half his age, surpasses four-time Olympic champion Ammann in training, cannot be ruled out.
University student Ammann, who started the season late after a summer without jumps, is facing the reality of this winter. He says: «It is possible that I will have trouble on this hill. Then it will be a short World Cup for me.”
Ammann was initially called up for his twelfth (!) World Cup without meeting the selection criteria. Last weekend at the World Cup Rasnov (Rum) he made it to 16th place. About the competition he says: “If four others in the team are better, then they have to jump. Then that’s the right way – and okay for me.”
Dominik Peter (21) and Killian must also nominate for a Swiss starting place peers (27). The former became more and more constant as the winter progressed. peerswho finished third at the 2019 World Championships, had a rough start to the season following a knee injury, most recently at Lake Calm (USA) with two top 30 results but at least a bit of confidence.
