Epiphany: Who has won the first overall victory for Austria since 2015?

Bischofshofen, Österreich - This Treierkönigstag will not be the focus of the biblical trinity, but the red-white-red three kings of ski jumping: Stefan Kraft, Jan Hörl and Daniel Tschofenig. These three athletes have shown a breathtaking performance in the last few days of the four -hill tour and ensure an exciting duel about the overall victory. The tension has been great since the last triumph of an Austrian in the 2014/15 season - and now one of them could end the large dry spell. As Laola1, were only 1.3 points between the top 3, the scarce distance in the Tour history.

The 31-year-old Kraft, triple world champion and Olympic champion, goes to the final in Bischofshofen as a overall leader. After a win in Oberstdorf and a second place in Innsbruck, he feels ready to win the golden eagle again. "I have nothing to lose and can fully attack," said Kraft after the qualification. His main competitor Jan Hörl practically jumps on the doorstep, but has had to deal with difficult results in Bischofshofen in the past. The 26-year-old, who grew up here, dreams of winning the victory in front of family and friends. However, the pressure could affect him, especially since he was not on the top podium on this tour.

Daniel Tschofenig, the youngest in the group, has also made a name for himself and brings a different dimension into the competition with his unique jump style. Despite weaker training sessions, he took a strong fourth place in qualification in a promising position. "When I connect the edge and flight phase, there is a lot of potential inside," said Tschofenig confidently. As fis ski , the atmosphere in Innsbruck was emotional for strength, and the anticipation for the exciting final in Bischofshofen is Griffable: "It is crazy, only 1.3 points between the three best, that has never happened before."
