Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim: “Crowbar” does not help: combiners without a World Cup medal

“It was a hood jerk jump, I can do that much better. But a sixth place is solid, ”said Armbruster on ZDF. “Now I’m looking forward to the mixed season tomorrow.”

Camp broken nervous before the start

Armbruster, which leads the overall World Cup after three individual victories, still took fourth place after the cross -country skiing. “I am completely satisfied with my race. I was very, very nervous before the start. It is something else when you start a World Cup and got the favorite role a little, ”said the German, who is stronger in the trail than on the ski jump.

“The first nervousness was gone after the run,” she said in the evening. “There was a little crowbar on the hill.” 89 meters were too little for the podium. Teammate Nowak, who jumped 95 meters, was satisfied with her performance. “I like the ski jump and I am happy that everything went up and I became fifth,” said the 22-year-old.

Mass start favors good jumpers

Usually jumping in the combination and then walking. The mass start format rarely practiced in combination favors good jumpers. Armbruster had explained running winner Westvold Hansen as a favorite on gold.

The Black Forest will graduate from high school in the coming months and has a steep climb in terms of sport. In the combination, crossbowers have been part of the top of the world for years, but this winter wins the World Cup for the first time.

The athlete was recently present in public, so she visited the “current sports studio” shortly before the World Cup. Armbruster still has chances on a medal in the mixed on Friday and in the second individual on Sunday.
