Pius Paschke: Finally the hope for the German eagles!

Engelberg, Schweiz - In ski jumping there are great news! Pius Paschke, who starts for WSV Kiefersfelden, celebrated his first World Cup victory on December 16, 2023 in Engelberg at the age of 33. This victory is not only a personal triumph for Paschke, but also marks an impressive moment in the history of ski jumping because it is the oldest athlete who was able to win a World Cup for the first time. This continues the long search for German success in ski jumping, which has been in the 2001/2002 season since Sven Hannawald's legendary victory. Hannawald himself keeps his fingers crossed that this success could end the German dry spell, as sportkrone.at reported.

Pius Paschkes ascent

pausche started his ski career at the young age of four years and had his international debut in 2005. Over the years, he fought through the various competitions, from FIS jumping to the Continental Cup. In 2020 he experienced a crucial breakthrough when he and his team won the silver medal at the World Ski Flight Championship. Since then he has improved continuously and set new standards with outstanding placements this season, so that he is now leading the overall World Cup after he even celebrated a mixed team in Lillehammer, according to the information from wikipedia .

While Paschke celebrates the success, it can be seen that the Austrian ski jumpers like Jan Hörl and Stefan Kraft are also ready to keep up with the competition. The tension between the two nations remains unbroken, and the upcoming jumping season promises to become an exciting duel between Germany and Austria. As Hannawald aptly noted, the German ski jumpers are desperately looking for success, while Austria dominated more than once.
