Ski-jump, cross-country and departure in, no other snowspoetdisciplin
connect as leave three skitechnichs techniques to a match form as the
Telemarksport. Of 16. to 18. The world-best Telemarker meets March to the
season final at the upper yoke in the Allgäu. And three German telemarkers and
esspecially women will fight for the victory.
Second of the last year overall-worldcup, Astrid sturm, lies in
this season before locking running at the upper yoke one promising
third place. The total valuation results as sum
all results in the three running disciplines, those in the FIS Telemark
Worldcup to be delivered. In the two disciplines” Classic “ and”
Classic Sprint “ranks Sturm even at the second place that Total
valuation. In the” giantslalom “, which is appropriate for third FIS
disciplin, its team colleague Monika Rieder promisingly on a
outstanding third place. In the overall-worldcup over all disciplines
Rieder is fifth. And load but emergency leases, the man in the
federation: Sepp Brunner, in Gesamtklasssement on rank 9 led, knew last
with a running in Homeland of the Telemarkens, in Norway, with Top
placements to listen attentively leave. Completely clearly:At the
worldcup at home,Sepp also wants to get into the fight of the top places.
To the wurldcupfinal at the upper yoke the Telemarker must again in all
Disciplines to the start. Here are not only speed, but also one due
portion fate, an optimal tactics and good condition in demand.
With the” Classic “, the” absolutely Nordic combination “, is the whole
Ski driver demanded. Between the gates of a giantslalom a daunting jump
juts
out the run.
At
the” kicker “it means for those Telemark racer to go on width hunt. Who
doen´t overjump a width, catchs equal a sensitive time punishment. You can marvel at jumps by 30 to 40
meters, which must be landed in the Telemarkstil,to escape for another punishment.
- just like ski jumping. ”But meanwhile the level in the Worldcup is so high “,
explains DSV
Telemark-Referent Chris Leicht,” «, neither for a noachievement of the target width nor for a
rule-conformal landing “. And that, although there is no time to set up the
jump like the landing.
Finally the clock runs also at the jump along and the next gate must be strucked in direct
Combat line.
Really approximatelyis it in the end of the race. Where Alpine racers already expect goal flags and jubilant spectators, the Telemarker in the” Classic “ drive into a 360 degrees steep wall curve.
The
” Gyroscope “, brakes them to there
cross-countryskiingspeed down, the runners try to resist with much
courage and fate. There the spectators can see difficult turning
maneuvers. Beside the jump the 360 probably is the most spectacular
element of the” Classic “- match.
Because only who comes out of the gyroscop with good momentum , atones also in
the
Skating valuable seconds. Now just pushing! In Sprint speed they come
toward the finish. Here the abilitie for skating counts, which is filed
from own the
Skating-coaches.
The discipline” Classic “requires of the athletes top condition. During this match form, the winners in a run
will be determined, They musst go twice to the start at the
variant” Classic Sprint “-howerver
with shorter Running times of until one and a half minute per passage.
The third discipline, which is sluged out in the context of the Telemark
Worldcup,
is
the Riesenslalom. This becomes sluiged
out in principle as more alpine slalom. Which however remains, is the
jump with a width line and landing in the Telemarkstil. Here is just
missing, compared with” Classic
“and ” Classic Sprint “,simply the gyroscope and the Skating distance.
As in alpine Worldcup are here two runs to be mastered.
from 16. to 18. march, the athletes decide their season with a ”
Classic Sprint “on Friday, the giantslalom on Saturday and the King
discipline, the” Classic “on Sunday.Then Astrid Sturm wants to”kick the
Norwegians of the podium “. And
their chances stand well, because already
in the last year the woman from Leipzig penetrated into the Phalanx of the
favored.Just one lady was better then her. The strong
Norwegian, Katinka Knudsen got the first placement.
The Weltcup final at the Oberjoch promises a quantity of tension. Three
German athletes ,men and women, fight for the landing places. And also
the final account of the season does not become without the Germans Telemarkers made. Sepp Brunner expects
a smooth operational sequence that running, many spectators, who will root
strongly and”a good placing for me! “.
Which will surely succeed to him and his team colleagues, is to show
the Spectators the fascination of just as traditional as rapid kind of
sport. Telemarkraces blow up the conception of ski racing and cause one
virtue, which is often forgotten from specialists at
the skiracing,
in the ski running run:
Versatility. With At telemarking win the true Jacks of all trades.
” We unite the kinds of sport, which were separated, again, as the
first skiraces in the 19. Century also took place: Ski jump, a slalom
and a long run distance “, seize Monika Rieder
together. ” Straight this combination makes the sport for usathletes, but also for spectators, very interesting “. Reason enough, to root locally
for the Telemarker.
