Olympia 2022 – national ski jumping coach Horngacher criticizes FIS after chaos in mixed: “Not in the spirit of the sport”

At the FIS, the Finnish material controller Mika Jukkara replaced Sepp Gratzer in the men’s division at the beginning of the season.

The women are controlled by the Pole Aga Baczkowska, who was also in action on Monday at the mixed.

Five women were disqualified.

In addition to Althaus, the Norwegians Silje Opseth and Anna Odine Ström, the Japanese Sara Takanashi and the Austrian Daniela Iraschko-Stolz.

Severin Freund had already been disqualified in the World Cup at the Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf and Team World Champion Markus Eisenbichler in Bischofshofen.

“Compared to the other nations, we had to endure a lot more controls. We are really haunted by these controls,” said Horngacher.

Horngacher: “Not in the spirit of sport anymore”

“It’s really bitter. At the Olympics, they start testing differently or more. For me, it’s slowly becoming a puppet show. We jump with these dimensions all the time. It’s strange,” said Horngacher on “ZDF”: “From mine It’s no longer in the interest of the sport. You have to be excited to get through it.”
