  • PREVIEW MEN's INDIVIDUAL - LARGE HILL – Saturday 13 Feb 2021
    PREVIEW MEN'S INDIVIDUAL - LARGE HILL – Saturday 13 Feb 2021 Halvor Egner Granerud Halvor Egner Granerud has won 10 individual World Cup events this season, at least seven more than any other man. Granerud is on course to become the fourth Norwegian to win the men's overall World Cup, after Vegard Opaas (1986/87), Espen Bredesen (1993/94) and Anders Bardal (2011/12). Granerud can become the seventh man to claim at least 11 individual victories in a World Cup season, and the first since Ryoyu Kobayashi (13) in 2018/19. Granerud (10) is one short of equalling Roar Ljøkelsøy (11) on most individual World Cup wins among Norwegian men. If Granerud wins both individual events this weekend in Zakopane, he will be the first man to win six successive individual World Cup events since Kobayashi from December 2018 to January 2019. Kamil Stoch Kamil Stoch has won 39 individual World Cup events, joint-third most all- time among men alongside compatriot Adam Malysz (39). Only Gregor Schlierenzauer (53) and Matti Nykänen (46) have won more individual men's World Cup events. Stoch has won 46 World Cup events (including team events), which ranks him in joint-second place all-time among men alongside Janne Ahonen (46) and Nykänen (46). Only Schlierenzauer (70) has won more men's World Cup events. Stoch has won a men's record seven individual World Cup events in Poland, two more than Schlierenzauer (5) in second place. Stoch and Schlierenzauer have both won a record five in Zakopane. Only Halvor Egner Granerud (12) has claimed more podiums in individual World Cup events this season than Stoch (7).

  • Olympia-Generalprobe Geht an Die Norweger
    Olympia-Generalprobe geht an die Norweger Nach Tande gewinnt auch Forfang in Willingen Richard Freitag verliert die Weltcup-Führung Norwegens Skispringer stellten mit Daniel Andre Tande am Samstag und Johann Andre Forfang (147,5+144,5) am Sonntag die Sieger in den beiden Einzelspringen auf der Willinger Mühlenkopfschanze und Polens umjubelter Volksheld Kamil Stoch (145,5+140,5) sicherte sich nicht nur den Gesamtsieg und die 25.000 Extra-Prämie beim erstmals ausgetragenen „Willingen Five“, sondern löste mit nunmehr 863 Punkten auch Richard Freitag (820) im Gelben Trikot des Spitzenreiters im Gesamtweltcup ab. Für die DSV-Adler lief es nach Freitags Podestplatz hinter Sieger Tande am Samstag am Sontag nicht wie gewünscht. Markus Eisenbichler (236,7) war als Sechster der Beste und auch Andreas Wellinger (233,1) kam gerade noch unter die Top Ten. Freitag aber stürzte schon im ersten Durchgang mit 128,0 m bei den schlechtesten Windbedingungen ab, kam auch im Finale nur auf 118,5 m und landete nur auf Rang 28 in der Tageswertung. Hinter Eisenbichler und Wellinger landete Willingens Lokalmatador Stephan Leyhe (138+122,5 m) auf Platz 18, auch ihn brachte ein schwächerer zweiter Sprung um einen Top Ten- Platz. „Ein Wochenende, das mit der Tagesbestweite von 143 m sehr gut begann und Auftrieb gab, an dem aber nicht alles gelungen ist. 140 und 136 m in den jeweiligen ersten Durchgängen waren gut, jetzt muss auch der zweite Wertungssprung stabiler werden“, meinte der Schwalefelder, der am Montag mit dem Team nach Pyeongchang aufbrechen wird, wo er immerhin Schanzenrekordler ist. Vier Polen, drei Norweger, zwei Deutsche und ein Slowene unterstrichen am Sonntag vor 16.200 Zuschauern den aktuellen Formspiegel vor Olympia.

  • Ernüchterung Erfolg Erwartung
    27. Dezember Sport 2020 Nachrichten & Tipps AUF ZWEI SEITEN Ernüchterung Handball-Bundesligist TVB Stuttgart verliert nach schwachen 40 Minuten gegen den Bergischen HC mit 26:30. Erfolg Nach einem packenden Krimi gewinnen die Stuttgarter Volleyballerinnen bei den Roten Raben Vilsbiburg 3:2. Erwartung Karl Geiger muss sich gedulden, die Freigabe für das Auftaktspringen der Vierschanzentournee fehlt noch. Baumann Foto: 27. Dezember 2020 SPORT Mbappé dankt Coach Tuchel, PSG schweigt Der Abschied von Thomas Tuchel war offiziell noch gar nicht verkündet, da dankte ein Weltmeister dem deutschen Trainer für dessen Arbeit bei Paris Saint-Germain. Die Weihnachts-Bot- schaft von Kylian Mbappé dürfte für Tu- chel am Heiligabend allerdings nur ein schwacher Trost gewesen sein, nach- dem vormittags in diversen Medien die Nachricht über sein Aus nach zweiein- halb Jahren beim französischen Fuß- ball-Meister die Runde gemacht hatte. „Erwartet wie der Weihnachtsmann“, titelte dazu die französische Sportzei- tung „L’Equipe“ am ersten Feiertag, ob- wohl PSG die Trennung von Tuchel auch bis Samstagmittag nicht bestätig- te. Längst gilt der Argentinier Mauricio Pochettino als Nachfolger des Ex-Coa- ches des FSV Mainz 05 und von Borus- sia Dortmund, dessen Vertrag bis zum kommenden Sommer laufen sollte. Für jeden Trainer bei PSG gibt es in- des nur einen Auftrag von der Clubfüh- rung aus Katar: endlich die Champions League zu gewinnen. Tuchel war dicht dran, die 0:1-Niederlage im Finale gegen den FC Bayern München im Au- gust in Lissabon verhinderte den Triumph des Star-Ensembles. Mbappés persönliche Botschaft be- stätigte letztlich schon, was der Verein mit seinem mächtigen Sportdirektor Leonardo noch nicht bekannt gegeben In der Anlaufspur: Karl Geiger stürzt sich in die Tiefe – seinem Heimatort Oberstdorf entgegen.

It doesn’t only come down to speed and stamina anymore, communication and cooperation are of the utmost importance. In the ladies’ event Japan and the Netherlands are the ones to watch and in the men’s event New Zealand are aiming for a historical first ever Speed Skating medal and the second medal in total for their nation at the Olympic Games. Whereas the four fastest teams from the quarter finals advanced to the semis, the event will continue as a knock-out competition in the next phase. The winners of the semifinals will race in the gold-medal race and the losers of the semifinals in the bronze-medal race. Individual speed versus team tactics The Dutch ladies won four of the five individual Speed Skating events so far, they skated an Olympic record in the quarterfinals and they will be defending their Sochi 2014 title, but they are no clear-cut favorites for the gold medal at PyeongChang 2018. Japan won nine of the last 11 World Cup races in this event, including each of the last six, and they hammered out a new world record in 2:50.87 at the Salt Lake City World Cup in December.
