Schlierenzauer does not enter the squad

Austria Ski jumpers complete the Four Hills Tournament once again, with competitions in Oberstdorf (December 29), Garmisch (January 1), Innsbruck (January 3) and Bischofshofen (January 6). ORF 1 broadcasts the jump and the day before also the classification. In any case, a surprise is certain: Gregor Schlierenzauer is not here this time. the the two-time Oberstdorf winners did not make the team.

AUSTRIA. “I have to accept that my performance was not good enough,” the 30-year-old said on his blog. Due to a corona infection, he had only completed two World Cup seasons. ÖSV head coach Andreas Widhölzl announced on Wednesday that Schlierenzauer is not on the team.

“I’m disappointed”

The non-nomination for the first two stops of the tour in Oberstdorf, where he missed the final in the last two appearances in 2017 and 2019 as 31, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen now spelled another setback for the Tyrolean. “Of course I am disappointed, anything else would be contradictory. The fact that there is currently no 120-meter hill ready to jump in Austria doesn’t make it any easier, ”Schlierenzauer wrote on his website.
