Austria's ski jumpers in action: The line-up for the Four Hills Tournament!

Austria's ski jumpers are facing a new challenge: the Four Hills Tournament in 2024! The prestigious tournament begins in Oberstdorf next weekend, and the ÖSV (Austrian Ski Association) line-up has now been announced. Led by the stars Stephan Embacher, Michael Hayböck, Jan Hörl and the well-known double Olympic champion Stefan Kraft, the competition is awaited with great excitement. Interestingly, the association is without the experienced Manuel Fettner this year.

The decision on the squad already suggests high ambitions, as the ÖSV wants to build on the success they achieved in the past at the Four Hills Tournament this season. In recent years, the Austrian athletes have triumphed several times and are aiming for the coveted overall victory again. In the history of the Four Hills Tournament, Austrian jumpers such as Josef Bradl and Thomas Morgenstern have contributed INTIMATELY to securing the Nations Cup over the decades, as demonstrated by the comprehensive list of overall winners since 1953, underlining Austria's dominance ( as Wikipedia reported ).

Look at the competition

This year will be particularly exciting because, in addition to the ÖSV, a national contingent is also allowed to take part in the competitions in Innsbruck and Bischofshofen, which increases equal opportunities and intensifies the conditions of competition. These regulations could also give young talents the opportunity to prove themselves in a difficult field and possibly become the next stars in ski jumping.

The Four Hills Tournament is not only crucial for the athletes, but also attracts spectators from all over the world who come along and cheer on the athletes. This prestigious event promises pure excitement, and the ÖSV has prepared everything to offer the fans an unforgettable show.
