Stefan Krafts Triumph: Austria's ski jumpers dominate in Oberstdorf!

Oberstdorf, Deutschland - Stefan Kraft impressively demonstrated his return to the head of ski jumping on Sunday in Oberstdorf. The 31-year-old Austrian triumphed during the start of the four-hill tour and celebrated his first victory of the season. With 335.1 points, the competition flogged strength and showed with jumps of 138 and 135.5 meters that it was in top form despite the initial nervousness. This is also his 44th World Cup victory and the first in ten years in this historical place, where he had celebrated his first single World Cup victory a decade ago, such as reported.

But that was not all: the Austrian team led strength to a sensational triple victory, followed by his teammates Jan Hörl and Daniel Tschofenig. This outstanding performance is an impressive demonstration of power by the Austrian ski jumpers, who most recently celebrated such a success in a competition in Oberstdorf in 2011. Hörl took second place with 331.6 points, while Tschofenig secured the last of the three podium places with 323.6 points. Pius Paschke from Germany, the best non-Austrian, had to be satisfied with fourth place, 13.8 points behind Kraft, according to the information from tt.com .

coach Andreas Widhölzl was not surprised by Kraft's performance and praised the experienced jumper, who always delivered in the crucial moments. Strength itself expressed itself euphorically after the competition: "A triple victory at the tour of the tour is really cool. It was really Harakiri twice, but it worked fully." The next competition of the tour will take place on Wednesday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and the qualification is already on the program on Tuesday. All eyes are now aimed at the Austrian eagles who have their sights on the gold eagle.
