The former ski jumping world champion consciously wants to take the time to decide on his career after the career.
Former ski jumping world champion Markus Eisenbichler would like to decide in peace and the necessary distance about a possible coaching career. “First of all, I work with the police. And as far as the trainer is concerned, I don’t want to rush anything now, maybe a year or two are quite good,” said Eisenbichler of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The 34 -year -old Siegsdorfer, which has been 34 years old on Thursday, ended his successful sporting career last month, and has been flirting with the role as a trainer for a long time. But now he is “still too emotionally too important,” said Eisenbichler. If he decides with the necessary time to think, “then I know that I would do it one hundred percent”.
Eisenbichler has been a guarantee of success of the German ski jumping team in recent years. Among other things, he won gold in the individual competition at the 2019 World Cup in Seefeld, plus five World Cup gold medals in the team. In Beijing he won Olympic bronze with the team in 2022. In the end, however, Eisenbichler had always struggled. This year, Eisenbichler missed the four -hill tour after an initially promising return to the World Cup – and most recently the World Cup in Trondheim.
Instead, he followed the competitions “in front of the television, on the tablet or live ticker”, reported Eisenbichler, whom the manipulation scandal shocked by the Norwegians. “That makes me sad and a little angry. I would like to jump the Norwegians very well, even without this fraud,” said “Eisei”.
