Tschofenig crowns the winner of the four -hill tour 2025!

Bischofshofen, Österreich - Daniel Tschofenig won the 73rd fourth tour tour on January 6, 2025 and thus achieved his first overall victory in this prestigious competition. The 22-year-old overtook Stefan Kraft from Austria in the last round and secured the victory with jumps of 136 and 140.5 meters. Jan Hörl, who triumphed with a total distance of 143 meters in the last round, took second place and was only 1.4 points behind Tschofenig.

Stefan Kraft, who went into the last attempt as the leader, was only able to jump 137.5 meters in windy conditions and thus fell back to third place. This was a special decision: the decision to win the tour was the scarce since 2006 when Janne Ahonen and Jakub Janda were tied. Andreas Wellinger from the German team reached ninth place with jumps of 133 and 135.5 meters, while the other German ski jumper, including Pius Paschke, Philipp Raimund and Karl Geiger, did not reach the top ten.

Austria dominates the tour

The four -hill tour was shaped by Austrian dominance. The Austrian jumper achieved a total of four victories and took eleven out of twelve possible podium places. This is also evident in the overall ranking, in which Andreas Widhölzl, who was able to win both as a athlete and as a trainer, went into the history books. The German jumpers, on the other hand, remained behind the expectations; This was also noted by national coach Stefan Horngacher, who found that the German team had no overall victory on the tour for 23 years. Wellinger spoke of the need to set minor goals in the coming weeks.

The atmospheric atmosphere of the last stop in Bischofshofen was celebrated by happy fans with singing and beer. Daniel Tschofenig was awarded the golden eagle for his triumph and thus steps into the footsteps of many great ski jumping stars.
