After The Disappointment In The First Match On Saturday, We Go For The Toda Medal

The opening jumping competition at the home Nordic World Championship in Planica did not turn out as expected for the Slovenian participants Ema Klinec, Nika Križnar and other members of the Slovenian jumping team expected a lot on the medium device, but in the end Križnar was the best in 11th place.

The disappointment was considerable after the match in Planica, which was won by the German Katharina Althaus But in the Slovenian camp, the competitors and coach Zoran Zupančič tried to take something positive out of it and focus on the next goal, Saturday's team match.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the world champion Katharina Althaus, she deserved it Last year, Urša Bogataj took the gold from her in Beijing, this year she was again in the fight for the gold, she attacked and in the end she succeeded.

Also, congratulations to Eva Pinkelnig and the Norwegian national team for Anna Odine Stroem in third place," Zoran Zupančič, the head coach of the Slovenian national team, began his analysis of Thursday's match "I can say for my team that we hoped to be able to surprise.

However, in this desire, especially in the first jump, the girls really sinned We didn't get here without problems, you know what happened in the weeks before the championship, we've had problems all winter and even now before the WC.

Nika got sick, yesterday we also had Emo Klinec undergo an MRI in Jesenice, due to pain in her knee she had to be examined You have to be 100% at the WC and come with a full measure of motivation, which we haven't been able to muster in the last period," he assessed the match coach.

"It's positive that Nika Križnar 'smelled' this performance of hers and that she showed a very solid jump in the final at half strength She is still quite sick.

Ema couldn't this time because of the pain, it brings doubts into her head and she couldn't show what she was two years ago in Oberstdorf For young Niko Prevc, this was her first appearance at the WC, in the second jump she was relaxed and jumped 'normally'.

Katra Komar and Maja Vtič each made one good jump, which is not enough," Zupančič added Despite the poor results of the opening match, Zupančič remained optimistic.

"Now we have to gather ourselves somehow, focus on those better jumps and through them to build some positive story until Saturday's game I can't see anything else but to fight for a medal also in the team competition, but we will have to be there and show our best jumps.

" Before the season, the Slovenian women's camp eagerly awaited their first home world championship, but dark clouds gathered over our jumpers "If I start to list, there have been so many of them this season.

The black clouds are really clinging to us since the injury to Nike Križnar, whose ankle injury dragged on, since then she has been ill at least six or seven times, she has had various headaches, viruses, flu Then there is Urša's injury, and now, finally, Nike's illness.

I don't know what to say We didn't come to the championship with positive thoughts, it ruined us, we only managed individual good jumps, but there was no rush, which we had then before Oberstdorf and Beijing, when we stepped up our form perfectly as a team.

" "We cannot be satisfied with these results, we must continue to work and forget about it as soon as possible This time they got the experience that force cannot be used.

It gets into the body, otherwise they didn't want to force themselves, but after the rhythm we had before this match, it got into their heads We are now moving forward with the program we have set ourselves, we have an official training session on Friday, where we will determine the fourth match for the team match," concluded Zupančič.
