Career

Beginnings

Deimel started ski jumping in 1985. Little by little he grew into the role of the combiner. In 1990, at the age of 17, he became German youth champion in ski jumping and combined. A year later he won the overall ranking of the Nordic Combined Alpine Cup.

1992 to 1995

He made his debut in the A-World Cup of Nordic Combined in January 1992 in Schonach and finished the race in 14th place. At the World Cup in Murau, with 13th place, he managed to get his ticket to the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville at the last moment . There he was only used in the team relay and ended up in fifth place. In addition, he was used in ski jumping on the normal hill and took 34th place. In the overall World Cup, he finished 36th. At the Junior Ski World Championships in Vuokatti in 1992 , he won the bronze medal in Gundersen and silver in the team competition.

At the age of 19, Deimel won the German championships for the first time in 1992. In the 1992/93 World Cup season he won third place in Saalfelden and was 16th overall. At his first World Ski Championships in Falun in 1993 , he won the bronze medal in the team relay together with Thomas Dufter and Hans-Peter Pohl . In the following World Cup season 1993/94 he was only used in Trondheim and came in 15th place in Gundersen. Deimel qualified for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but he was not used. For example, it was used at the 1993 World Cup final in Planica on the flying hill. His eleventh place jumped there secured him five World Cup points, which made him rank 50 in the overall World Cup ranking of the 1992/93 season. At the beginning of the 1994/95 season, he was active on a weekend in the B World Cup in Lillehammer. He finished third after jumping and the subsequent 15 km race. At the beginning of January 1995 he contested the race in Val di Fiemme with 11th place. The Second World Ski Championships in 1995 in Thunder Bay were sometimes quite good with 16th place in Gundersen and sixth place in the team relay. In 1995 he had to undergo knee surgery.

1996 to 1999

In the 1995/96 World Cup season he was in the top ten five times. Since 1993 he has been back in Steamboat Springs and in St. Moritz after jumping, could not hold the place in cross-country skiing and much back to fifth and seventh place. In the overall standings, he finished ninth. In 1996 he finished second at the German championships. In the 1996/97 season he got back into the World Cup late, was only there at the stations in Hakuba and Oslo and finished the races in 11th and 10th place and finished in 27th place overall at the end of the season.

At his third World Ski Championships in Trondheim in 1997 , he reached eighth place in Gundersen and sixth place in the team relay. One summer earlier he would have been absent for almost two months because of a torn muscle fiber and a tonsil operation . In the 1997/98 Olympic season he was able to attack again at the top. At the World Cup in Rovaniemi , for example, a good tenth place came out, in Sapporo and Lahti a seventh place and in Oslo fourth place. At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano , the DSV team relay came in sixth and in Gundersen came 13th. In the same year he became German champion for the third time and second with the team as a combiner. In the 1998/99 World Cup season , Deimel landed in the top 15 at seven World Cup stations and was 21st overall. The 1999 World Ski Championships in Ramsau went anything but good. Because a good sixth place jumped out again with the team relay. 15th in the Gundersen competition and 24th in the sprint. 1999 came second as a combination and third as a special jumper.

2000 to 2002

The 1999/2000 season went very badly with a few exceptions, as Deimel only finished in the top ten three times. In the overall ranking he came in 17th place. The following 2000/01 season was also anything but good. Just a fourth place in Park City / Soldier Hollow . Overall he was 23rd overall. At his last World Ski Championships in 2001 in Lahti , he came with the team relay in the thankless fourth place and sprint in 15th place. In his final 2001-02 season , things didn't go well at all. In Val di Fiemme he achieved the second podium of his career with third place. In the overall World Cup ranking he reached 46th place. In May 2002 he resigned as a combiner.
