Daescher technique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DDR (East German) stamp - Memorial for the Skijumper. The ski jumper shown in the top center of the stamp is demonstrating the Daescher technique.

The Daescher technique was created by Andreas Daescher of Switzerland. This technique was created in the 1950's as a modification of the Kongsberger technique where the arms are placed backward toward the hips for a closer lean. This would become the standard for ski jumping until the development of the modern V-technique by Jan Boklöv of Sweden in 1985.
