Ski jumper Stefan Kraft doesn’t want to cry after missing out on the title of Austria’s athlete of the year again. Nevertheless, the Salzburger says openly: “It’s annoying” because no line can be seen in this election.
“I was certainly hoping to become Austrian athlete of the year. Nevertheless, in the end it affects me very little. I did my job. I would be more upset if I missed a telemark and came fourth. “I don’t sleep well for a few days,” said Kraft. So he got over the disappointment “in half an hour”. if(kmmIsMobile()) { var cuid = “4539818”; // for Mobile } else { var cuid = “4539816”; // for Desktop } KRNEvents.on(‘krn:dom-ready:init’, function() { KRNEvents.on(‘krn-didomi-loaded’, function() { if (KRNDidomi.checkConsent(‘tipp3odd’)) { !function(o,d,s,e,r,v){ o[e]=o[e]||{};o[e].queue=o[e].queue||[];var u=encodeURIComponent,w,z, y=d.createElement(s);try{w=!o.top.location.hostname}catch(f){w=1}y.async=!0; y.type=”text/java”+s;y.charset=”utf-8″;w=!w?o.location.href:d.referrer; y.src=”https://creative-cdn.oddsserve.com/get.js?url=” +u(w)+”&wp=”+u(r)+”&slots=”+u(v.replace (/\s/g,””)); z=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];z.parentNode.insertBefore(y,z) }(window,document,”script”,”oddsServeCom”,cuid,”oddsserve-csi-1″) } })}); KRNEvents.on(‘krn:dom-ready:init’, function() { KRNEvents.on(‘krn-didomi-loaded’, function() { if (KRNDidomi.checkConsent(‘tipp3odd’)) { oddsServeCom.queue. push(‘oddsserve-csi-1′); } })}); The best ski jumper in the world once again left the athletes’ gala in Vienna empty-handed a few days ago, despite his overall World Cup victory and gold at the Ski Flying World Championships. The coveted NIKI trophy went to kitesurfing Olympic champion Valentin Bontus. “I am not belittling the achievements of Valentin Bontus or others,” emphasized Kraft. “Hats off to the performance, but of course I was disappointed.” The choice of athlete and strength still don’t match. Two years ago, after winning Olympic gold with the diving team, he had to come to terms with third place behind the soccer teams (Red Bull Salzburg, ÖFB women). “This year Sturm Graz sensationally wins the double and they end up behind an Olympic team (sailors Lara Vadlau/Lukas Mähr; note). That’s annoying. There is no line in the election,” said the 31-year-old from Salzburg. “It is too normal that…”“It is too normal for skiers and ski jumpers to perform well. Austria expects this, is used to it from us. When an athlete who is not in the spotlight does something special, they immediately jump on it.”
