Markus Eisenbichler (born April 3, 1991 in Siegsdorf ) is a German ski jumper . His greatest success so far is the individual world championship title on the large hill at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2019 in Seefeld . He was also runner-up in the 2018/19 Four Hills Tournament , team world champion in 2019 and mixed team world champion in 2017 and 2019 .

Career

Markus Eisenbichler, nicknamed "Eisei", has been a ski jumper since he was eight. Since June 30, 2006 he has been seen internationally as a ski jumper, including in the FIS Cup , Alpine Cup and Continental Cup . At the 2007 OPA Games , he finished sixth. In December 2008 he took second place in the German Cup twice. In 2009, Eisenbichler became German youth champion both individually and in a team. In 2010 he did not qualify for the World Cup in Klingenthal . In the same year he took fourth place in the overall Alpine Cup ranking. With the second place on February 27, 2011 in Zakopane , he jumped on the podium for the first time in a Continental Cup competition. For the first time he jumped in 2011 in Almaty at the Summer Grand Prix and finished 19th. He made his World Cup debut on December 30, 2011 at the start of the Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf . There he won his first World Cup point with 30th place after a victory in the knockout duel against Martin Schmitt .

In September 2012, Eisenbichler had a serious fall while training in Oberstdorf and suffered a thoracic vertebral fracture .

In October 2013 he took third place with the second Bavarian team in the team competition on the large hill at the German Championships in Oberstdorf. In mid-January 2014 Eisenbichler celebrated his first victories in the Continental Cup in Sapporo . On the large hill, he outclassed the competitors twice and won by a large margin. Shortly afterwards, Eisenbichler also achieved his best World Cup results to date in Sapporo with two eighth places.

In the 2016/17 season , Eisenbichler took his first podium in an individual competition with a third place on December 11, 2016 in Lillehammer . At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2017 in Lahti , he won the bronze medal behind Stefan Kraft and Andreas Wellinger in the individual competition on the normal hill . In the mixed team competition he became world champion together with Carina Vogt , Svenja Würth and Andreas Wellinger. On the large hill he was 13th in the individual competition and fourth with the team. On March 25, 2017, Eisenbichler set a new German distance record with a flight of 248.0 meters on the Planica ski jump .

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Eisenbichler reached 8th place on the normal hill and 14th place on the large hill. Eisenbichler was not involved in the team competition, in which the German quartet won the silver medal . He had previously lost an internal competition against his teammate Stephan Leyhe . He achieved the best placement in a World Cup competition to date in the 2017/18 season - shortly after the Winter Games - on March 4 in Lahti , where he finished second.

The 2018/19 season began quite moderately for Eisenbichler with placements between 10 and 48 in the first six competitions . At the Sunday jumping in Engelberg, however, his form improved significantly and reached 6th place. The form curve continued to rise for the subsequent Four Hills Tournament. Eisenbichler reached 2nd place in Oberstdorf as well as Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 13th place in Innsbruck and 5th place in Bischofshofen. Eisenbichler took 2nd place in the overall standings - behind the outstanding four-time winner of the day Ryoyu Kobayashi .

Markus Eisenbichler at the 2019 World Cup in Seefeld

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Seefeld in 2019 , he was world champion on the large hill in Innsbruck ahead of his teammate Karl Geiger and the Swiss Killian Peier , without having previously won an individual World Cup competition. The last jumper before to become World Champion without having won a World Cup so far was the Norwegian Tommy Ingebrigtsen at the 1995 World Championships . After Eisenbichler had already won the qualification ahead of Geiger and Peier, he achieved a distance of 131.5 meters in the first round of the competition. After 1.2 points behind Peier, he won the world title in the second round with the longest jump of the day of 135.5 meters. The following day he won the world championship in team jumping on the same hill with Karl Geiger, Richard Freitag and Stephan Leyhe . In the competition on the normal hill , Eisenbichler jumped from 25th place after the first round to seventh place. He benefited from the onset of snowfall, which made the inrun track significantly slower for the jumpers who started later and thus hit the leaders of the first round in particular. On March 2nd, he was also world champion in the mixed team competition with Katharina Althaus , Juliane Seyfarth and Karl Geiger. On March 22, 2019, he won his first individual competition in the ski jumping World Cup while ski flying in Planica .

After the German team struggled with some injuries, Eisenbichler went into the 2019/20 season as the DSV's hope for the 2019/20 season, alongside Karl Geiger, who had already shown up in the summer . However, he could not meet these expectations in the first third of the season and sometimes even missed the second round. Eisenbichler achieved an increase in performance at the Four Hills Tournament 2019/20 , when he did not yet exhaust his performance potential, but jumped three times under the top 15 and ultimately finished fifteenth in the overall ranking. A few days after the tour, Eisenbichler slipped in a parking lot in Ruhpolding near black ice and injured his right hand. Since he had the capsular ligament lesion treated conservatively, he only missed the two subsequent World Cup weekends.

Jump style

Markus Eisenbichler's strength lies in his effective flight position and his feeling of flight, which he particularly benefits from on ski flying hills . At 248 meters, set up on March 5, 2017 in Planica , it is the German record holder in ski flying.
