Austria’s ex-men’s ski jumping head coach Heinz Kuttin has a new job. The 49-year-old becomes the coach of the French jumpers and succeeds Nicolas Bal. “It is an important step for us. We have great potential among young athletes, but so far we have not been able to convert that into success at the highest level, ”said sports director Jerome Laheurte of the sports newspaper“ L’Equipe ”.

The long-term goal is to build a team of four athletes in the World Cup. Last winter, not a single French jumper got even a World Cup point. Kuttin Most recently worked as a coach for China’s ski jumpers, but announced his retirement in March. The Carinthian, who succeeded Alexander Pointner, was responsible for the ÖSV team between 2014 and 2018.
