Talk:Baldur Preiml

Some notes
Dear Sir, I would like to help to expend:

All the informations I know by myself (and it is written in Austrian sport books and in newspapers in German language; in Austrian newspapers at first, but also in the "Sport Zurich" or "Süddeutsche Zeitung") but I would like to choose to cit. German Wikipedia (because infos are compressed):

Mr. Preiml did win the Bischofshofen-Jumping on January 6th, 1964 at the Four Hills Tournament (see also "Arbeiterzeitung Vienna" from January 8th, 1964, page 11). Because being ill, he couldn't compete in the 1964 Winter Olympics. In regard to the Bronze medal in the Normal Hill in Autrans, he was on the second place after the first leg (80 metres, 113.8 points), behind Jiří Raška (79 metres, 115.2). In the second leg as well Preiml as Raška had 72.5 metres ((see also "Arbeiterzeitung Vienna" from February 13th, 1968, page 11). Maybe, Preiml lost the silver medal in the second leg, when his run-up was too slow. Several months after the 1968 Winter Olympics he retired. Later then he did complete successfully his sports- and historical studies.

From 1970 until 1976 he was a teacher at the "Skigymnasium" (academic high school or grammar school for ski athletes – or ski boarder school) at Stams, he teached history and trained a crowd of ski jumpers. He did inform himself about procedures (methodic, kinematics) in the GDR. In 1974, the Austria Ski Federation did appoint him as the head coach of its ski jumpers; he was the head coach until 1980 and was called as "Der Vater des österreichischen Springerwunders" (may be translated as "The father of Austrian Jumping miracle"). In the 1974/75 Four-Hills-Tournament the Austrian jumpers were very successful (after being at a disadvantage in the former years). Willi Pürstl did win the first event in Oberstdorf, and he could achieve the win of the tournament. Karl Schnabl did win the jumps of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen - but only finishing 35th in the start-jump of Oberstdorf he missed the win of the tournament. Another jumpers were Toni Innauer, Alois Lipburger, Hubert Neuper and Armin Kogler. Mr. Preiml did work out nutritionally conscious methodics and many innovations in equipments. 213.225.2.106 (talk) 11:28, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
