Finally, it is for Markus Eisenbichler over the summer time. Although it is by no means so that the ski jumper would not enjoy the warm Season. From local victory village, it pulls the 28-Year-old back to the mountains. "After the Training, I have time in the evenings, I do a quick walk or to Climb, go," he says. He is on social media, his Fans have.

Now, however, the ski jumping season starts again. This weekend it begins with the first world Cup in Wisla, Poland. "Ski jumping is what I love," says Bayer about his true passion. And as he says, is not say so just because it sounds good. Markus Eisenbichler is so – down-to-earth, straight, honest.

of Course eisenbichler had gotten in the past few months, many invitations. After all, he had won at the world Championships in Seefeld three times Gold, had completed the four-hills-tournament as runners-up behind Grand Slam winners Ryoyu Kobayashi, who had won at the season finale in the ski jumping in Planica, his first world Cup victory. But only a few receptions, he also went. "If something has spoken against an appointment, then I canceled," he says. Entirely voluntary, however, it is to be in a home in the upper Bavarian victory, the village went. There, where his grandma lives.

Which is one of his biggest Fans. "My grandma is in a fever always in front of the TV. The then told, how excited we all are. The say: "This is one of us," says the ski-jumping world champion. Therefore, as a matter of course, it was for him to put up an afternoon to the older people and to tell them of his life as a professional athlete. In return, he had taken too much. "I have taken extremely fit people of 96 years," he says. And he is in the same Moment, pensive. "But one also sees the fates as my former head teacher who is not yet so old, but after three strokes not so Canlı Bahis fit is."

Not only during the visit of the seniors, but also in comparison to many peers Markus eisenbichler realizes that he is in a privileged Situation. "Many who started with me at a young age with the Sport and just as much pleasure from it had not brought it so far," says ski jumper who was hailed last season by the Fans. That's why he is quite openly: "I am pleased that I can do what I do."

This is what he wants to do in this Winter particularly well. "The Top 3 are the target," he says. In the last season he was in the world Cup Ranking Seventh, because he had lost at the end of the winter, something in the Form. Now, therefore, the Top-3. Why? "The tour to win only, if one is constantly placed among the top three," he says. "The tour is a bit of a curse, last year it would have been almost as far. Let's see,“ says the DSV-eagle. In his assessment of the 1.75 metre Springer gets assistance from Stefan Horngacher. "Markus can jump better," says the new national coach, "in Training he shows that he has developed even more."

This further increase in power is needed, the German Team urgently. Because, according to Ex-world champion Severin friend, the selectively re-used, it has ripped in the summer Olympic champion Andreas Wellinger, the cross-band.

Even if Bayer does not want to face this reality, in spite of Richard Friday, of Stefan Leyhe and Karl Geiger eisenbichler is the face of the German ski jumping. "We have no face, we are a good Team," he says in all modesty, "I was the Best in the overall world Cup and the world Cup." But if he would go at this Position in the next summer time, would have been Markus Eisenbichler't mind.
