Season Over For Andreas Wellinger

 

Olympic champion and runner-up, two-time world runner-up, the German ski jumper Andreas Wellinger, will not appear again this winter. This decision was made by coach Stefan Horngacher, seeing no sense in continuing his charges about him in the current season.

"In the case of Andy Wellinger, we treat this situation a bit like that, from now on, he is starting the preparations for the next season from scratch. His jumps di lui are still average, not as good as we would like", explains Horngacher, quoted by DPA.

Winter 2020/21 is a series of continuous failures for Wellinger, recovering from a cruciate ligament rupture for weeks and months. He started the season with starts in the World Cup, but due to very poor results, he was finally delegated to the Continental Cup, and then to the FIS Cup rankings. He won his only three points in the International Ski Federation rank in Szczyrk in the FIS Cup competition. It was there, on 19 and 20 January, for the last time he appeared at the start of the competition. Since then, he has devoted himself to training, hoping to raise the level of his jumping and return to starts. In the absence of any noticeable progress, a decision was made to end the season prematurely. What to say. A decision that can be shared, but at the same time not shared.  

Until next time!
