30, 25, 19, 30 is the result line for Sebastian Samuelsson's last four competitions.

A form that is not optimal when the WC in Oberhof is fast approaching.

The former national team coach Wolfgang Pichler believes that Samuelsson would feel good about staying over the World Cup in Antholz and instead train at home.

- He's not that good at high altitude and if he's not in shape like he is now, because he's not in shape... To win a medal you have to be in extra good shape so it might be a good idea to send him home so he can train in peace and quiet to be in shape for Oberhof, says Pichler.

Pichler is also clear that something extra is needed to beat the Norwegians in the upcoming championship.

- We need athletes who are in absolute top shape, he states.
