Martin Koch hopes for a chance in Harrachov

Martin Koch, third in the last ski flying World Championships in Vikersund two years ago, is struggeling with his shape this season, but still the veteran hasn't given up hop that he will be participating in Harrachov at the end of his career.

"Maybe I'll get the chance to prove myself in training, but this is only at about five percent", Martin Koch said to the Austrian newspaper "Kleine Zeitung". He now wants to earn his spot on the team for the World Championships with good performances in training in Planica. "The profile of the hill there is similar to Harrachov. I don't know if this helps, but I still enjoy ski jumping."

The ski flying World Championships on the hill at the Certak from March 14th to 16th, would be the last highligh in the long career of Martin Koch. But after his performances this winter with an 18th place in the ski flying in Bad Mitterndorf as his best result it will be difficult for him to be named on the Austrian team for Harrachov.

"Unfortunately I don't know yet whether I'll be competing again this winter. There are still the ski flying World Championships - but I will only jump there if it really makes sense. First, we have enough good jumpers right now and, second, I don't want to go to Harrachov as a tourist. But I'm still training and I'm a ski jumper until Planica. If it would work it would be very cool, but if not I'll still say good bye in Planica with a positive feeling", the 32-year-old wrote on his website martin-koch.at.
