One week after the European men’s championships, which were so successful for Austria with Vinzenz Höck’s silver rings, the women’s championships will take place on Thursday in Mersin, Turkey. Austria only competes with Elisa Hämmerle, who is qualified for the 2021 Olympics.
The 25-year-old feels fit and well prepared. He arrived on Sunday with his American coach Daymon Montaigne-Jones from his training group near Amsterdam. The first training sessions at Mersin were promising.
“I’m already lining up my European Championship with Tokyo (Olympia 2021, note),” the Vorarlberg native said in a broadcast. “Compared to the last big international events, I have a completely new exercise on the beam. Now I will try this for the first time on the big stage, and I will not play it safe. ” Since there is no full competition in these championship fights, Hämmerle concentrates on uneven bars, balance beams and the floor. She skips the jump.
First competition this year
“My goal is to distinguish myself from others mainly through art,” said the Lustenauerin. Due to the coronavirus crisis, Hämmerle has yet to complete a competition this year. ÖFT Sports Director Eva Pöttschacher spoke of an extremely difficult year, but confides in Hämmerle: “He has greatly increased the difficulty of his exercises in recent months. The EM is your entry into intensive preparation for the Olympics. I am very optimistic that it will pay off. “
It’s Hämmerle’s turn on Thursday afternoon. Should it become an end device, it would be in action again on Sunday.
