"The fact that there was a gap between Schlieri and the rest of the team became apparent during the subsequent ski jump in harrachov. Gregor did not participate. His participation on windy hill, where many heavy falls had already occurred, seemed too dangerous to me. Morgenstern and Kofler gave free will to their feelings: it seemed unfair to them that Gregor still got a fixed place at the upcoming World Flying Championships. Thomas recalled that at the same age he was not allowed to participate in flight tournaments. Andreas did not want to participate in the event with me and ironically said that I should take my "precious" (schlieri) with me. However, Schlierenzauer's victory caused Morgenstern absolute despondency, and the rest of the team noticed that Gregor was too selfish and won only because we did everything well for him. That's why I wanted to give Gregor a chance to rehabilitate himself at the conversion dinner. And I hoped that he would show humility and thank the team. But he didn't do it. On the contrary, he began to teach others"
