Austria's ski jumper in the high rush: Tschofenig wins in Engelberg!

Austria's ski jumper caused a sensation in Engelberg at the weekend! In the last competition before the upcoming four -hill tour, Daniel Tschofenig sensationally celebrated his second win of the season after winning the first competition. The 22-year-old Carinthian prevailed in a gripping duel ahead of Jan Hörl and Stefan Kraft, who strengthened the ÖSV (Austrian Ski Association) with an impressive triple victory. Tschofenig took first place with 138.4 points, followed by Hörl, who was only 5.1 points behind him. Kraft rounded off the great result and brought the ÖSV into a strong position before the upcoming challenges, such as "https://www.laola1.at/de/red/wintersport/skispringen/news/vor-tourne--chofuehr-fuehr-oesv-dreischsieg-in-engelberg-an/"> Laola1.at reported.

For the German team, however, the dress rehearsal was disappointing. Only Karl Geiger made it into the top ten with ninth place, while other hopes such as Pius Paschke, who had to deal with the difficult weather, only took 18th place. After a weak first round of lucrative confidence and a subsequent ascent to the ranking, the result was unsatisfactory for the DSV (German Ski Association), which had clear expectations before the tour. Five athletes could not even reach the final, which makes the situation more difficult because national coach Stefan Horngacher is forced to make some decisions about the places. This precarity will be discussed intensively in the coming days in view of the four -hill tour, such as chiemgau24.de reported

The four -hill tour begins on December 28th in Oberstdorf and promises exciting duels between the best ski jumpers in the world. The Austrian athletes show themselves in outstanding form and compete confidently, while the German jumpers urgently need to increase in order to remain competitive. The fingers crossed for a gripping season!
