Ski flying today at Kulm 2024: Wellinger is considered the German favorite
Federal coach Stefan Horngacher has nominated five ski jumpers from the German team for the 2024 Ski Flying World Championships at the Kulm in Bad Mitterndorf: Karl Geiger, Andreas Wellinger, Stephan Leyhe, Pius Paschke and Philipp Raimund. So there are also two Oberstdorfers in the German squad. The coach will decide which four jumpers will start in the individual competition after training on site.
Four Hills Tournament runner-up Andreas Wellinger is considered a medal candidate in ski flying at the Kulm this weekend. Things haven’t been going so well for his teammates lately. Horngacher is still confident for them too.
“I am convinced that one or the other will get off to a very good start and will regain the necessary self-confidence through ski flying and get back into really good shape,” he said German press agency on Tuesday. “The boys know that they can jump like Andi. They have a good team spirit.”
Ski flying and ski jumping: what’s the difference?
The fundamental difference between ski jumping and ski flying is the height of the jump. The ski flying hill at Kulm in Bad Mitterndorf with a Hillsize 235 is one of the largest ski jumps in the world. For comparison: The normal hill in the Orlen Arena in Oberstdorf has a hill size of 106, the large hill in Oberstdorf has a hill size of 137. A ski flying hill is said to have a hill size of 185 meters and a construction point of 145 meters.
As a result, athletes achieve higher speeds when ski flying than when ski jumping. As a result, you are in the air longer and can jump or fly further.
