Picture by 2025 Getty ImagesBy Ockert de VilliersDaniel Tschofenig came from behind to capture his maiden Four Hills Tournament title spearheading an Austrian 1-2-3 on home snow in Bischofshofen on Monday (6 January) Tschofenig produced a spectacular second-round jump of 140m metres for 159.0 points That sent him from fifth to first with a combined winning score of 308.6 points who led the Four Hills Tournament standings coming into the final leg had one hand on the trophy after he topped both the qualification and the first round Kraft’s final leap was delayed due to a strong headwind and the Austrian had to wait for conditions to improve The 31-year-old was finally cleared to make his leap which fell short of the target as he only managed a 137.5m jump, earning him the third step on the podium with a combined score of 303.2. Jan Hoerl finished second both in Bischofshofen and the overall Four Hills Tournament. Kraft finished third in the overall standings. “It is freaking unbelievable! I really don’t know what to say. The competition came and I just knew what I needed to do,” Tschofenig told the FIS. “I really feel sorry for him (Kraft) to be honest. I would have hated to stay up there and wait the whole time. He would have deserved to win the Golden Eagle here.” Kraft was the early leader in this season's Four Hills Tournament, after winning the first event first leg in Oberstdorf before Tschofenig deposed him in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The musical chairs at the top of the overall standings continued in Innsbruck on Saturday (4 January) where Kraft reclaimed pole position after another Austrian podium sweep, before today's final drama. Hoerl and Tschofenig battle in BischofshofenJan 05 Kraft and Tschofenig (left to right) ©Reichert/NordicFocusA decade may have passed since Stefan Kraft became the last Austrian winner of the FIS Ski Jumping Four Hills Tournament but that surprise run looks set to end on a home hill come 6 June 2025 and he could again be the man to land the prestigious prize After three action-packed events across Oberstdorf (GER), Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) and Innsbruck (AUT) just 1.3 points separates the top three ranked athletes in the race for the ‘Golden Eagle’ trophy After his second win in three contests Kraft has 887.1 points, with Jan Hoerl (886.5) close behind and second-leg victor Daniel Tschofenig (885.8) third The ‘battle in Bischofshofen’ – from the Paul Ausserleitner HS142 Hill – is set to be one of the most spectacular and highly contested finales in the history of the 73-year-old competition “The dominance of the Austrian team is really incredible,” says 2002 Olympic ski jumping champion turned commentor and analyst Martin Schmitt (GER) really exciting for the Austrian fans in Bischofshofen." FIS assesses the prospects of each of the top-three ranked ski jumpers and hears from the athletes themselves Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games Team Large Hill gold medalist and three-time Crystal Globe winner: When Kraft claimed the Four Hills Tournament title back in the 2014/15 campaign he was the sixth-straight winner from his nation would have predicted it would take another decade before a ski jumper from one of the strongest nations in the history of the sport would top the standings again Kraft entered this season off the back of his best-ever World Cup campaign which saw the Beijing 2022 Olympic team champion secure the Crystal Globe for the third time in his career 2024/25 had proved much tougher, with Kraft attaining just four podium finishes from the first 10 World Cup stops, before a timely return to form with victory in the opening Four Hills contest in Oberstdorf (GER) An eighth-place finish in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) threatened to derail his bid but fired on by over 22,000 supporters Kraft achieved a “childhood dream” by winning in Innsbruck “I think this is one of my best competitions in terms of emotions,” said Kraft after edging back to the top of the Four Hills standings ahead of Hoerl and Tschofenig with just 1.3 points separating (the top-three) I’ve never seen this before but it’s great for our sport and I think it will be thrilling days in Bischofshofen “Maybe it’s possible that the (one who takes) most risk (will win) but and we try to keep this spirit and belief in one another so that the best one will win.” Schmitt was full of praise for the aggression shown by Kraft who won last season’s Four Hills finale in Bischofshofen and believes he has what it takes to claim another victory “Kraft is so strong and was risking everything (in Innsbruck),” said the 10-time World medalist Schmitt they need to have so much confidence in their setup and technique that he can be that aggressive from the take-off but he’s doing just enough right to get just enough air under the ski to get the lift He has the speed and also a really nice telemark landing and that gave him the advantage over his team-mates Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games Team Large Hill champion two-time World medalist and European Games Mixed Team gold medalist: Hoerl claimed his first individual World Cup victory in late 2021 and achieved his best World Cup season to date during the 2023/24 campaign when he attained eight podium places including victory in the third leg of the Four Hills Tournament He is well-placed to better that in 2024/25 having already attained seven top-three finishes, including victory in Engelberg just before Christmas and two second-place finishes in the last two events combined with fifth in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) have the 26-year-old just behind Hoerl in the Four Hills ranking ahead of the finale event “I’m really proud of the whole team and the maturity we have shown is really special,” said Hoerl Kraft and Tschofenig) have good relationships and we had little jokes on the hill I think Bischofshofen will be really exciting and personally I’m feeling strong.” 2023 World Team Large Hill bronze medalist European Games champion and four-time World Junior gold medalist: The 22-year-old may not have the senior World and Olympic Games experience of his elder countrymen but Tschofenig is rapidly establishing himself as a strong contender to be Austria’s next superstar ski jumper He made his senior international debut in 2018 but made significant developmental strides in 2022 by claiming individual as well as two team titles at the World Junior Championships in Zakopane (NOR) his profile has continued to grow; claiming both individual as well as team golds during the sport’s European Games debut in 2023 and becoming a Red Bull-backed athlete Tschofenig has occasionally struggled to replicate table-topping jumps in both rounds at a World Cup but he is currently the most consistent performer in the field The Austrian won the second World Cup in Engelberg (SUI) in the final event before the Four Hills commenced and since then he has placed third, first (Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) and third again Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) is one of the most talked-about athletes of the season because despite being 33-years-of-age he is currently enjoying the best run of form of his career He has placed second three-times during the 2024/25 campaign and a first-ever World Cup victory could yet bring him back into Four Hills contention given he trails third-placed Tschofenig by 22.5 points but require all three lead Austrians to underperform “My goal is again to make at least two great jumps for the Four Hills,” Deschwanden told FIS “I need to hope for a really weak day of the top-three which we haven’t seen this season but maybe that would be more of a miracle!” “It’s super-hard to say (who is the favourite for the ‘Golden Eagle’ trophy) but Stefan (Kraft) is always really strong in Bischofshofen but the other two (Hoerl and Tschofenig) are jumping really well and have great technique which you see in the results 05.01.2025 – 16:30 – Start Qualification – QUA Men’s

The Liebherr Group’s wheel loader production plant in Bischofshofen employs 1,200 people on a site covering 170,000 m². With its present capacity, up to 7,000 wheel loaders can be produced each year. In the medium term, the company expects demand to reach 10,000 units per year, which means that production capacity has to be expanded. The decision was thus taken to build a state-of-the-art production facility on a spacious 200,000 m² site in Wildon. The new facility will manufacture the small wheel loader models L 504 to L 518, as well as models for the OEM partners John Deere and Claas. The location of the new site offers many advantages that make it very attractive. In particular, the excellent rail connection and the proximity to the Cargo Centre Graz (CCG) allow efficient material supply and the dispatch of finished products. This not only optimises production processes, but also minimises environmental impact by reducing lorry transport. In addition, Wildon offers the ideal infrastructure for future expansion. The proximity to key suppliers and the availability of skilled workers in the region are other advantages that make the location so attractive. The planned expansion will not only create new jobs but will also strengthen the local economy and contribute to regional development. The new production site is scheduled for completion in 2029. The 31-year-old, who won the first event in Oberstdorf (GER) had slipped to third in the standings after placing eighth in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) That race had been won by team-mate and rival Daniel Tschofenig, who ultimately finished third in Innsbruck, just ahead of fellow Austrian Jan Hoerl second and third positions in the overall Four Hills Tournament rankings with just 1.3 points separating them ahead of the finale in Bischofshofen (AUT) 5-6 January “I trained my whole life for this,” said Kraft after his first-ever victory in Innsbruck “It’s a childhood dream to win in this special atmosphere and special place “The second jump was so aggressive and one of my best ones (of his career) which makes me so happy I had to do this in order to be strong and I neede to take the risk to beat them (Hoerl and Tschofenig) 10 years has passed since an Austrian last won the Four Hills title with Kraft achieving that honour back in the 2014/15 season With Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) some 22.5 points off Tschofenig in third there is a strong likelihood the ‘Golden Eagle’ will be back in Austrian hands next week 61 athletes took to the hill in qualifying on Friday which – as with each of the Four Hill contests – would see the ski jumpers face off in a series of duels with five places in the second round also reserved for ‘lucky losers’ who attained a score ranking in the top of those who did not qualify automatically for the final round the American performed well and his score of 116.6 combined with a far from perfect jump by Geiger (110.1) saw Bickner take something of a surprise victory Halvor Egner Granerud (NOR) was another high-ranking ski jumper to suffer an early elimination, as was 11th highest qualifier Killian Peier (SUI) He was knocked out by Dawid Kubacki (POL) Pius Paschke (GER) who has won five World Cup stages so far this season delivered a competitive 128.5m to put him seventh heading into the final round Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) has been demonstrating some of the best form of his career this season but he would suffer a rare blip and place 10th at the halfway stage Johann Andre Forfang (NOR) has threatened to upset the Austrian dominance during recent World Cups and 130.5m as is becoming something of a tradition this season who thrilled the capacity crowd with a series of stunning jumps Michael Hayboeck (AUT) had welcomed in the new year by claiming just the second podium finish of his World Cup campaign with third in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) It quickly became evident he would not be repeating that accomplishment in Innsbruck but 131m in the second round helped him climb from 20th to 12th Making the greatest progress between the first and second rounds though was another Austrian, 2022 World junior bronze medallist Markus Mueller who had entered the third leg of the 2024/25 Four Hills contest fourth in the standings was expected to need a jump far in excess of 130m in order to retain any realistic hopes of challenging for an overall victory but with conditions worsening it enabled the Swiss to climb six places into fourth Certainly out of contention was Paschke, who had entered the Four Hills as the World Cup leader and aiming to become the first German to claim the ‘Golden Eagle’ since Sven Hannawald in 2022 123.7 points in round two saw him slip down the standings and lose further ground in the race for the 2024/25 Crystal Globe As the current yellow jersey holder Tschofenig may well be a contender for that crown later in the season but for now his sights are firmly set on Four Hills success 128.7 points saw him confirm a top-three place but only recorded his first World Cup victory this season during the opening Four Hills contest in Oberstdorf His jump of 132.5m enabled the three-time World champion to take a 10-point lead with fellow Olympic team gold medal-winner Hoerl the only athlete who could deny Kraft a further win Hoerl reached 131.5m and lower style marks ensured it would be Kraft who took the win and a lead over his Austrian colleagues heading into the final leg of the competition The field will now take the 180km journey east to Bischofshofen for the final event of the 2024/25 Four Hills Tournament Austria — Daniel Tschofenig has won the Four Hills ski jumping tournament decided on the final jump of the last competition in Austria Stefan Kraft led the overall standings and was the first-round leader on Monday at Bischofshofen ahead of making the final jump of the competition Kraft landed three meters short of Tschofenig's technically excellent 140-meter jump and lost the chance to regain the Four Hills title 10 years after he last won it Tschofenig took his first Four Hills title and Kraft dropped to third Austria swept the podium with Jan Hörl second Monday and second in the overall standings According to Suspilne Sport saw the leaders of the Ukrainian national team start at all four stages the participants had to reach the top 50 of the qualifying standings Yevhen Marusiak missed out on qualifying by 0.8 points with a flight of 118.5 meters and 110.7 points Vitaliy Kalinichenko was ahead of his four rivals in the qualifiers with 97.7 points and 58th place after a flight of 114.5 meters It was only the second time this season that Kalinichenko and Marusiak started at the World Cup and did not qualify for the main round: the last time it happened was on December 22 at the stage in Engelberg Marusiak set a historic result for Ukraine: he made it to the main round a record among Ukrainians at the Four Hills Tour Marusiak became the first Ukrainian jumper in history to qualify for the main round of the Four Hills Tour four times Vitaliy Kalinichenko set a personal best at the Tour finishing 38th at the third stage of

ImagesBy ZK GohThree-time Olympic champion Kamil Stoch won his third ski jumping Four Hills Tournament in style after clinching an emphatic win at Bischofshofen in Austria, scoring 300.7 points. It was the fourth Four Hills win by a Polish jumper in the last five years, with Japan's Kobayashi Ryoyu in 2019 the outlier. Stoch is now joint-third all-time for most Golden Eagle trophy wins, behind only five-time winner Janne Ahonen and four-time champion Jens Weissflog. "Everything went well, there was very good ski jumping today, this is another huge award for all the work I did, and also for the whole team," Stoch told FIS. "I'm really thankful to the whole team for all their work and support, they have done such a good job." Stoch went into the fourth and final event leading teammate Dawid Kubacki by 15.2 points The two-time reigning Olympic large hill champion sailed out to a leading 139 metres and 150.9 points in his first attempt adding more than 17 points to his lead over Kubacki Germany's Karl Geiger moved into second in the Four Hills standings after the first jump but Stoch's overall lead of some 30 points heading into the final jump meant the German was only jumping for an event podium which netted him a second round score of 149.8 points and a total of 300.7 points more than 20 clear of Bischofshofen runner-up Marius Lindvik of Norway good enough to secure second place overall in the Four Hills Kubacki held on to third overall from Halvor Egner Granderud by just 0.4 points Liebherr-Werk

Next was home favourite Stefan Kraft who could only manage 131.5m Poland's Dawid Kubacki broke the hill record with 138.0m in round one but could not repeat those heroics as he leapt 130.0m to move above Kraft into second That left just first-round leader Markus Eisenbichler who required something close to his previous 137.0m to claim his first individual World Cup win But he jumped 131.5m with poor style points dropping him to fifth joining Sven Hannawald in 2002 and Kamil Stoch 12 months ago as the only men to win all of the Four Hills events This has been a truly outstanding breakthrough season for the 22-year-old from Hachimantai in Iwate Prefecture Kobayashi finished seventh in the normal hill event at PyeongChang 2018 and 10th in the large hill But he took third in the individual season opener in Wisla Poland for his first World Cup podium finish Finland and was victorious again 24 hours later He kept up that fine form and went into the Four Hills as a strong favourite with four wins from seven individual contests After a spectacular first jump of 138.5m in Oberstdorf he just held off Eisenbichler for victory by 0.4 points On New Year's Day at Garmisch-Partenkirchen Kobayashi took a narrow lead over Eisenbichler into round two before winning by 1.9 points Friday at Innsbruck was altogether more comfortable largely thanks to an opening jump of 136.5m more than five metres further than anyone else Now he has eight wins out of 11 this campaign and looks a class apart Eisenbichler claimed second in the Four Hills competition with fellow German Stephan Leyhe third But they and everyone else will have to raise their game considerably if they are to challenge Kobayashi at next month's World Championships in Seefeld in Tirol Manfred Schützenhofer was elected as the new tour president at the annual meeting of the presidents of the tour partner clubs scores and standings - complete list Find out the results as they happen from each event of the 2024/25 Four Hills Tournament ski jumping event took place from 28 December 2024 to 6 January 2025 Daniel Tschofenig won his maiden Four Hills Tournament with the competition coming to a climactic conclusion on the final leg in Bischofshofen on 6 January The Austrian trio of Tschofenig, Stefan Kraft and Jan Hoerl dominated the 2024/25 edition with little separating the three at the top of the standings as they headed to the fourth and final event. As ever, the Vierschanzentournee took place at the German venues of Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, followed by Innsbruck and Bischofshofen in Austria.

sites The Liebherr plant in Bischofshofen celebrated two groundbreaking events: the presentation of the first large wheel loader with a hydrogen engine and the opening of the first hydrogen filling station in the state of Salzburg At a trade event at the Liebherr plant in Bischofshofen the world’s first large wheel loader with a hydrogen engine was recently presented to high-ranking representatives from politics and business The event included a series of talks on the topic of alternative drives the focus was on Liebherr’s impressive machine show where the hydrogen wheel loader was demonstrated for the first time in practical use the first hydrogen filling station in the state of Salzburg was inaugurated representing an important milestone in the use of hydrogen as a sustainable energy source „To make progress in hydrogen research We built this filling station to further advance our goals for decarbonising construction machinery,“ says Dr.-Ing Chief Technical Officer of Liebherr Bischofshofen The L 566 H from Liebherr is the world’s first prototype large wheel loader with a hydrogen engine this groundbreaking technology was identified as the optimal solution for operating large vehicles that are difficult to electrify without CO2 emissions battery-electric solutions are often suitable the situation is different with larger machines with an operating weight of up to 40 tons and high energy requirements Hydrogen reciprocating piston engines prove to be ideal in this case These hydrogen engines are manufactured at the engine plant of Liebherr’s Components product segment in Bulle (Switzerland) They enable not only zero emissions of greenhouse gases and almost no nitrogen oxides Another advantage is that the interfaces are comparable to those of a diesel engine – thermally and mechanically This represents a significant step forward in the development of sustainable large-scale machinery Another highlight of the show was a MAN truck This shows that hydrogen technology is not only feasible in wheel loaders but is already used in construction site trucks As part of the development of the hydrogen wheel loader Liebherr Bischofshofen opened its own hydrogen filling station – the first of its kind in the entire state of Salzburg An important strategic partner in this project is Maximator Hydrogen which is not only the manufacturer of the newly opened filling station they are working on mobile filling facilities so that machinery can be refuelled directly at the construction sites This is particularly important for remote construction sites and machines that are not very mobile which ensures the supply of green hydrogen This is important because only through emission-free production – using wind hydroelectric or solar energy – can hydrogen play a key role as a sustainable and climate-friendly energy source Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH is planning to significantly expand its production capacity by building an additional manufacturing plant for small wheel loaders in Wildon This strategic decision is a response to the steadily growing wheel loader market and underlines the company's commitment to sustainable growth The Liebherr Group's wheel loader production plant in Bischofshofen employs 1,200 people on a site covering 170,000 m² up to 7,000 wheel loaders can be produced each year the company expects demand to reach 10,000 units per year "Our site is beside the B 159 road that runs along the Salzach valley and is hemmed in by the slope to Mitterberghütte This makes the expansion in Wildon a logical and necessary decision in order to be able to meet the increasing market demand," says Peter Schachinger Managing Director for Production at the Liebherr plant in Bischofshofen The decision was thus taken to build a state-of-the-art production facility on a spacious 200,000 m² site in Wildon The new facility will manufacture the small wheel loader models L 504 to L 518 The location of the new site offers many advantages that make it very attractive the excellent rail connection and the proximity to the Cargo Centre Graz (CCG) allow efficient material supply and the dispatch of finished products This not only optimises production processes but also minimises environmental impact by reducing lorry transport The proximity to key suppliers and the availability of skilled workers in the region are other advantages that make the location so attractive The planned expansion will not only create new jobs but will also strengthen the local economy and contribute to regional development The positive cooperation with the project participants on site had a significant effect on the decision The Bischofshofen plant will continue to be responsible for production of large and medium-sized wheel loaders as well as steel construction for the entire wheel loader range Due to the increasing demand for large and medium-sized wheel loaders and the fact that the new plant will take several years to build good capacity utilisation can be expected in Bischofshofen “Liebherr's Bischofshofen plant will remain the centre of expertise and development for all the company's wheel loaders The enormous potential for growth in countries such as the USA along with increasing requirements for digitalisation and intelligent assistance systems allow us to look with confidence into the future of our main plant in Bischofshofen” Employees have been involved in all of the planning at the Liebherr plant in Bischofshofen which emphasises Liebherr's commitment to being an attractive and secure employer for the region Sustainability and environmental protection Liebherr places great value on sustainability and environmental protection the use of renewable energy and minimisation of emissions These initiatives are part of Liebherr's sustainability strategy Liebherr is pursuing ambitious aims with the planned expansion the company plans to increase its production capacity to 10,000 wheel loaders per year and achieve a 10% share of the global market (excluding China) These objectives are part of the long-term strategy to increase production capacity ensure high product quality and promote innovation Only by expanding production capacity will it be possible for the plant to achieve these goals and sustainably strengthen its position in the global construction machinery market The planned expansion of Liebherr Bischofshofen with the new site in Wildon is a significant step in the development of the company This step will enable Liebherr to expand its production capacity ensure sustained product quality and achieve its long-term growth targets it will strengthen the local economy and pursue the long-term goal of minimising the environmental impact Liebherr is thus sending a clear signal for a sustainable and successful future Advertise With UsFacebookTwitter With market-leading print and digital platforms for the Recycling

the first wheel loader prototypes from the corporate group’s early years: the LSL 1500 This specimen is the oldest preserved Liebherr wheel loader in existence Liebherr has invested about 650 working hours in the restoration of the vintage loader which is now used as an exhibition piece in the Liebherr Bischofshofen factory 27 October 2020 –“When developing wheel loaders we deal with the latest technologies and trends on a daily basis And this wheel loader here shows that Liebherr was getting innovative machine concepts off the ground even six decades ago,” explains Martin Gschwend who is managing director of the Liebherr Bischofshofen plant and responsible for the worldwide distribution of Liebherr wheel loaders he is inspecting a particular rarity: a Liebherr LSL 1500 wheel loader from the early 1960s It is the only remaining example of a pilot series of only five machines and is the oldest preserved Liebherr wheel loader in existence The wheel loader specialists in Bischofshofen have lovingly and fully restored this machine over recent months The wheel loader veteran has had a very full life After a few years at a gravel factory in the Biberach area the machine arrived at the Fried-Sped corporate group in Ummendorf circa 1980 The LSL 1500 served the logistics specialist reliably for around 20 years with the shovel loader already around 40 years old Liebherr took the prototype back and preserved the now decommissioned wheel loader this storage location was not to be the final resting place for the historic wheel loader Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH decided to fully restore this last remaining LSL 1500 particularly in the form of rust and frost damage The project began in the spring of 2020 at the Liebherr Bischofshofen plant The wheel loader experts refurbished each individual part of the LSL 1500 down to the very last screw the renovation meant much more than mere nostalgia: “Several apprentices worked on the restoration this was a rare opportunity to observe and understand the technology of earlier times,” explains Andreas Scharler technical skill and improvisational talent were required the operating voltage suddenly switches from 12 to 24 volts We first had to analyse this process correctly in order to be able to start the wheel loader successfully It was a splendid moment when we heard the powerful six-cylinder diesel engine running for the first time,” says Scharler invested about 650 working hours in this vintage wheel loader Liebherr was already experimenting with wheel loaders a type of machine still in its infancy and underdeveloped at the time the “Elephant” and “Mammoth” models still had to cope with increased tyre wear and modest traction Liebherr then managed to create a reliable wheel loader prototype with the LSL 1500 weighing around ten tonnes and with 108 hp Leibherr produced a pilot series of five units The LSL 1500 had a rigid frame and hydraulically supported rear wheel steering which was luxurious for the time The load transmission was achieved by a torque converter and a four-wheel drive The new kinematics provided a dumping height of around three metres and allowed for the loading of construction site vehicles with larger side heights an all-weather cover with sewn-in transparent windows and heating was available for the operator’s platform Liebherr described its LSL 1500 in a data sheet as a “new design based on many years of experience in the construction of earth-moving machines” The Pole produced jumps of 143 and 140.5 metres to comfortably outdistance his rivals and win Monday’s competition ahead of runner-up Karl Geiger of Germany and third-placed Marius Lindvik of Norway Kubacki captured the coveted tournament crown with an overall score of 1,131.6 points after four competitions 20.6 more than Lindvik and 23.2 points ahead of Geiger Kubacki's victory on Monday came after the 29-year-old Polish ski jumper placed second in the third leg of this season's Four Hills Tournament in Innsbruck On New Year’s Day, Kubacki finished third in the second stage of the tournament in Garmisch-Partenkirchen The Pole finished third in the opening event of the 2019/2020 Four Hills Tournament in Oberstdorf The Four Hills Tournament, which is part of the ski-jumping World Cup circuit features a series of four competitions taking place in Germany and Austria every year Poland’s triple Olympic champion Kamil Stoch won the Four Hills Tournament in 2017 and 2018 Earlier Adam Małysz took the title for Poland in 2001 Kubacki in March last year took the gold and Stoch grabbed the silver in the normal hill event at the Nordic world ski championships in Austria Czech Michal Doležal last year took over as the head coach of the Polish men’s ski-jumping team to replace Austrian Stefan Horngacher. The Japanese Kobayashi also celebrated in the third series of the New Year's Tour, tomorrow he defends 17,9 points for victory and the biggest trophy Japanese Ryoju Kobayashi is the best jumper in the world! The Japanese showed it tonight in Bischofshofen in the decisive second series, when with a fantastic jump he created pressure on the leader from the first series of jumps, the Norwegian Marius Lindvik. In the last jump of the day, the Norwegian jumped to 135,5 meters, two meters shorter than needed to win, so the great Japanese is one step away from incredible success. He celebrated on all three ski jumps of the jubilee 70th edition of the New Year's Tour "Four Ski Jumps", so tomorrow he will have the opportunity to become the first person in history to win the most prestigious prize in this sport twice with all four victories! According to him, only the Polish Kamil Stoh and the German Sven Hanavald managed to do it before him. Kobayashi (137 and 137 meters with 5 points) won with 291,3 points ahead of Lindvik (4,7 and 137,5), while the third place went to the Norwegian Egner Halvor Granerud (135,5 and 13,5, 135,5). Before the decisive series, again in Bischofshofen, since Innsbruck was absent due to the wind, Kobayashi has a 17,9 point advantage over his closest follower in the standings of the 70th tour of the "Four Ski Jumps", Marius Lindvik. Switzerland's Simon Amann is in a stable condition, but remains in hospital, after suffering a heavy fall in the final competition of the traditional New Year's Eve Tour "Four Jumps" in Bischofshofen on Tuesday. The four-time Olympic champion in ski jumping had a bad landing in the second series and was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state after hitting his head on the snow. "Simon Aman suffered a serious concussion, he has a few scratches, but he didn't break anything. He will stay in the hospital for a while to fully recover from the heavy fall," the Swiss national team announced. The overall winner of the "Four Ski Jumps" is the Austrian ski jumper Štefan Kraft, while Aman finished in 17th place.
