At the women’s New Year’s tournament, Katharina Althaus, Selina Freitag and Anna Rupprecht let the DSV team cheer. But again an Austrian celebrated the victory

The ski jumpers are on a New Year’s tour: In the second competition in the competition for the “Golden Owl”, however, the Austrian Eva Pinkelnig again took the win.

Althaus flies onto the podium

Anna Rupprecht, who started on her 26th birthday and was already on course for a podium place after the first round with team colleague Katharina Althaus (92/92.5m) behind the previous day’s winner Pinkelnig (94.5/94.5m). With 88.5 meters she slipped down to fifth place.

Althaus, on the other hand, was able to show a strong jump in the second round. However, the girl from Oberstdorf couldn’t get past Pinkelnig and finished second.

One could also congratulate Selina Freitag (95/92.5 m) on a very good competition. The 21-year-old narrowly missed the podium in fourth place, but contributed to the strong team result of the German jumpers.

Next stop Ljubno

At the weekend, the athletes will continue with two more competitions in Ljubno, Slovenia.

In 1953 the Four Hills Tournament in ski jumping took place for the first time. The first winner is Sepp Bradl. But also Germans convince in the first years of the tour.

Ski jumping national coach Stefan Horngacher praised young talent Philipp Raimund and referred to his strong jumping ability before the Four Hills Tournament.

In 2002, Sven Hannawald was the first ski jumper ever to win all four jumps in the Four Hills Tournament. A look back at the historic achievement.
