Older “Krone” readers will remember: ski jumping was practiced in Vienna until the end of the 1970s. As many as 20,000 visitors marveled at jumps of up to 65 meters. Many years later, the Vienna City Eagles fought to build a ski jumping facility. The city committed itself to support, which legend Andi Goldberger also called for during the “WienAIR” in Upper Austria with more than 100 talents – in the video above!
Crouching deeply, jumping off in time, putting on the ski tips, making a V and landing with Telemark – within a few seconds a thousand thoughts go through nine-year-old Paul from Simmering’s head. A psychological and physical masterpiece. Concentration must not wane, otherwise bruises will appear. At best. “It doesn’t hurt that much,” Flora tries to reassure me before my first jump.
What is a one-time event for me means everything to the children of Vienna City Eagle. A world in which they have to live at a great disadvantage compared to their compatriots in Western Austria. The children had to be transported by car from Vienna to Mürzzuschlag for an hour and a half. Time away from training. Time that is simply not available during a school week.
