ÖSV eagles fly high: Tschofenig breaks Garmisch curse with a record!
Austria's ski jumpers have once again caused a sensation! Daniel Tschofenig, the rising star of the ÖSV team, triumphed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and ended the country's long dry spell at this location. With impressive jumps of 141.5 and 143 meters, the 22-year-old not only secured the day's victory, but also the first Austrian win in Garmisch since 2014, when Thomas Diethart won the title laola1.at reported.
While Tschofenig was on the top spot on the podium, his teammate Michael Hayböck also shone, not only breaking the hill record with an outstanding jump of 145 meters, but also securing third place on the podium. Hayböck was overjoyed: “I now have a place on the podium at all four tour stops,” he explained. Stefan Kraft, who went into the competition as the tour leader, fought his way up to eighth place after a weaker first round, but fell back to third place in the overall ranking. “It's good that we're leaving Garmisch now,” said Kraft optimistically kleinezeitung.at reported.
