ÖSV eagles cheer: Best chances at the 73rd Four Hills Tournament!
The 73rd Four Hills Tournament is just around the corner and promises exciting competitions in Germany and Austria. With five wins in the first eight competitions, Pius Paschke is the big favorite. No DSV Adler has ever achieved such an impressive season record. The 34-year-old enjoys a comfortable lead in the overall World Cup and is eagerly awaited by German ski jumping fans, who have been hoping for the next tour victory since Sven Hannawald's triumph in 2002. But the pressure could also have its pitfalls. The defending champion Ryoyu Kobayashi has shown weaker performances so far, while the Austrians like Daniel Tschofenig and Stefan Kraft are in strong form. Crane will certainly continue to heat up the competition, so BR.de.
Austria's strong team performances
In the run-up to the tour, the ÖSV team is causing a stir with impressive results. Former ski jumper and current sports director Florian Liegl spoke about the strength and promising performances of the Austrian jumpers. This season, five different athletes have already reached the podium, and the Austrians are in the winning zone with four out of ten possible individual competitions. Liegl emphasizes that the high demands placed on athletes should not be underestimated and emphasizes the need to also lead future talents to the top of the world. With a talented selection and a strategic approach, he is looking forward to the challenges of the upcoming competitions: “We want to create the framework conditions so that such successes are possible,” said Liegl in an interview LAOLA1 reports.
The tour will travel to several challenging ski jumps in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen, each with its own characteristics and challenges. Paschke is not only the hunted, but also has to compete against numerous strong competitors, while the German jumpers often suffer from the pressure of the home spectators despite their good performances. Nevertheless, the story of the tour is full of surprises, and unexpected twists and turns can also influence the rankings.
