“After the end of the season, I was sick for three weeks, everything went out. Then it went well for a month before I overrented the patella tendon with a deep squat. That has been going on for one and a half months. I can probably do a lot, but not jump,” said Kraft. “But in two weeks at the latest I will start training on the hill.”
Although the plan was originally different, the three -time winner of the overall World Cup now wanted to see the situation as an opportunity. “Because my fuselage muscles are now at a top level,” said Kraft, adding: “It is another way, but maybe even the right one. We will see.”

In addition to the overall World Cup, Kraft has won almost everything in its career – except for an Olympic gold medal in singles. “If I still want to do this, it is only possible this time. I will do everything for it, but would be happy with every medal. If I could get gold, it would of course be upper kitschy. But it is nothing that I need 1000 percent,” said Kraft, who emphasized that they had a nice career anyway.
How does he want to tackle Olympics? “For me it is rather that the less attention I point to it, the better it works. But that’s how I am, for others it may work the other way around. Next year we will see whether it was the right way,” said Kraft.
