Olympia 2018: Wellinger hopes for cobbler’s future

Following the successful Olympic Games, the German ski jumpers are hoping that national coach Werner Schuster will stay with them beyond 2019 “We are doing everything we can to ensure that he is motivated. The DSV has to think about everything else,”said three-time Pyeongchang medalist Andreas Wellinger.

Karl Geiger also emphasized on Tuesday that he would like to have the successful coach” Schuster’s contract with DSV runs for another year. In South Korea, Schuster had left it open whether he would look after the DSV eagles at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.

“As of today, it’s already far away. I’ve been in office for ten years. In the current situation, I cannot give a serious answer. I still don’t know what to do next,”said the 48-year-old Austrian after winning the silver medal in the team competition.

The DSV had recently emphasized its intention to extend the contract with Schuster:”At the beginning, not many people would have guessed that Werner’s contract with Schuster would now extend over ten or eleven years. If it’s up to me, this will be even longer,”said the sports director Horst Hüttel at the Four Hills Tournament to the SID:” We stayed together during the coming autumn or early winter.
