The Austrian ski jumper Gregor Schlierenzauer has achieved almost everything there is to win in his sport. At the age of only 16, he already won his second World Cup competition. The double win of the Four Hills Tournament and the overall World Cup as well as numerous medals at the Olympic Games and World Championships follow. Gregor dominated the competition for years. But suddenly there is no success, his private relationship breaks up. He doesn’t know what to do anymore. In January 2016 he takes a break from sports. Gregor Schlierenzauer is in a crisis of meaning.
It accompanies him like every one of us: to find meaning in what we do. Having the power to function every day. How can we be up to this? Gregor Schlierenzauer also asks himself the questions: Who am I? Where is life going? Why am I doing all this? What is the point?
