Kobayashi triumphs: The Japanese remains in view of the overall winner!

Vienna, Österreich - In a gripping competition in Sapporo, Japanese, the Japanese ski jumping star Ryoyu Kobayashi once again demonstrated its dominance. The 28-year-old triumphed confidently and, after the first round, clearly led to his persecutors, including the Austrian Manuel Hörl and the compatriot Thomas Tschofenig. Kobayashi, who presents himself for the World Cup in top shape, prevailed with consistently strong performances, while Hörl was able to make floor difficult, but continued to lag behind in the overall World Cup, like vienna.at reported.

Hörl and Tschofenig very close to it

Manuel Hörl is happy about his season again after another second place, even if he notices that he was "always one in front of me" so far. With this result, he emphasizes the challenges in the competition, but remains optimistic and still sees potential for improvements in the upcoming competitions. Tschofenig, on the other hand, fought until the end. With only 0.1 points he missed the podium and reflected this "tenth crime thriller" with the hope of better placing the next jumps, as he expressed to the media.

The Austrian athletes not only shone through their individual performance, but also dominated the first places after the first round before the Japanese Ren Nikaido passed. The shape of the triple four -hill touring winner Kobayashi remained a bit unstable, but it seems to be on the right track to fight back, while the Austrian team hopes for their last chance before the World Cup in Trondheim on February 26th, as fis-ski.com reported
