Daniel Tschofenig is at home on the world’s ski jumping hills. His girlfriend also knows her way around there very well.
Everything looks like a perfect season for Daniel Tschofenig. The ski jumping star from Austria won the Four Hills Tournament in the 2024/25 season and celebrated a total of eight individual World Cup victories. It was only in October that he was named Austria’s athlete of the year. He has also found happiness in his private life.
His girlfriend is no stranger – on the contrary. Alexandria Loutitt knows the world’s ski jumps just as well as her partner. The 22-year-old Canadian ski jumper became world champion on the large hill in 2023 and won bronze with the mixed team at the 2022 Olympics.
But the couple has a long-distance relationship: While Tschofenig lives in Innsbruck, Loutitt spends most of her time in Slovenia. Alex Loutitt supports her boyfriend in his career and, after her competition, traveled to Bischofshofen for the final competition of the Four Hills Tournament in January, where she saw her partner triumph.
This also pleased Tschofenig, who explained on the Austrian radio show “Breakfast with Me”: “That meant a lot to me.” When the couple doesn’t see each other, they communicate in other ways. “Facetime is very popular with us,” said the 23-year-old ski jumping star.
However, Tschofenig doesn’t want to think about marriage yet: “Let’s see what the future brings. I’m still young and don’t want to manifest anything.” In an interview with the Austrian “Kurier” a few years ago, Tschofenig also said that he and Loutitt regularly exchange ideas and give each other tips. The Carinthian also emphasized: “We don’t just talk about ski jumping all day long.”
The couple also often shares snapshots and couple photos together on Instagram: whether in the outdoor pool or in front of the Christmas tree.
However, Loutitt will miss the 2026 Winter Olympics. In September she fell badly at the Summer Grand Prix in Val di Fiemme and tore her cruciate ligament. Daniel Tschofenig will therefore be hunting for gold this season without his partner.
