Oberstdorf (Dagbladet): Anders Bardal (32) is finally in place in Oberstdorf, Germany. He is ready for current flows in Schattenberg Ski Jump, the first of the Four Hills Tournament.
A canceled flights created tension as to whether he would variety qualifying yesterday. But he and Johann Forfang had margins on their side.
– The shape is good. I’ve had a nice Christmas and not thought jumping at all, told Bardal after yesterday 10th.
Christmas gifts were naturally also handed out in the “Bardalske home.” And if you thought that one of the world’s best ski jumpers had absolutely everything by jumping equipment, you must think again.
For the wife Ingrid he received the following:
A hoppskotørker .
A desire
– So you did not have a hoppskotørker before?
– No. And it was something I wanted. I’ll test it out now, said Bardal on the plain Schattenberg Ski Jump yesterday.
– I have not had any need for it. And I do not know if I’m going to use it as much either.
But – that – one hoppskotørker is in place, and perhaps it is the small detail that gets north man to rise further. Dry hoppsko is a nice thing.
Bardal is 10th in the overall World Cup. But he lacks the steady stream of top jumps.
Do unleash
– I hope that go’hoppene coming more and more often. I must just drop me even more loose, he points out.
Bardal has a stated goal to stand on the podium in the summary of the Four Hills Tournament. But here in the jump mad Germany – where it snows and not much reminiscent of a country with a series of football in the winter – there is no one talking about Bardal candidacy this time.
World Cup leader Anders Fannemel are naturally drawn up. Otherwise spoken about Czech Roman Koudelka, Austrian Michael Hayböck and German Severin Freund.
Bardal located in the group behind top candidates, and may this suits him well. Now it’s just lowering the shoulders, letting loose – and replicate past success jump.
Renn Start today: The time 16.30. Then the 63rd Four Hills Tournament started for real!
