5:14 p.m
Felix Trunz (SUI) vs. Philipp Raimund (GER)
That should have been it for Felix Trunz, because 119 meters is not enough for the lucky losers. After him, eyes turn to Philipp Raimund. What starting position does he create for the second round? Raimund comes out great, is good in the air and can reach 133.5 meters. The grades are in the 18 range. Raimund takes first place ahead of Fettner!
5:12 p.m
Karl Geiger (GER) vs. Halvor Egner Granerud (NOR)
Phew! For Karl Geiger, nothing has happened since the first jump in Bischofshofen and unfortunately things didn’t turn around for the competition either. Geiger misses the jump, then edges too much in the air and lands after just 115.5 meters. In the duel he will face Granerud, who has already had a few misses this season, but today he doesn’t allow himself any major weakness and reaches 128 meters. Geiger is eliminated!
5:10 p.m
Giovanni Bresadola (ITA) vs. Ren Nikaido (JPN)
Giovanni Bresadola can still hope that the final round will work out, because he manages at least 125 meters in the duel with the Innsbruck winner and would therefore be in the lucky losers. Of course, Ren Nikaido doesn’t stop at the distance, but he can’t present the jump that should be enough to win the day today. 132 meters are enough for him to take sixth place.
5:08 p.m
Roman Koudelka (CZE) vs. Isak Andreas Langmo (NOR)
Where did he get it from? Actually, the profile in Innsbruck doesn’t suit Roman Koudelka, but the strong result in the last competition seems to have given him confidence and he hit 127.5 meters. The Norwegian youngster Langmo will also have to stretch! What can Langmo deliver now? It will be 129 meters and so the duel victory goes to Norway. As the second lucky loser, Koudelka also has the best chance of advancing. Colby, for his part, is thrown out.
5:05 p.m
Jason Colby (USA) vs. Jonas Schuster (AUT)
Jason Colby improves on his test jump and sets the bars into the slope after 123.5 meters. But is that enough against Schuster? He’s actually getting along excellently in Bischofshofen and is showing it again now! Schuster hits 132 meters. However, it could still be enough for Colby, he takes fifth place in the Lucky Losers and throws Wellinger out.
5:01 p.m
Antti Aalto (FIN) vs. Felix Hoffmann (GER)
Antti Aalto opens the next duel with German participation, but will probably also have to say goodbye early. With only 117 meters, the Finn doesn’t set a mark that can really build up pressure. Felix Hoffmann should be able to clearly exceed this distance. The question is rather how strong the German presents himself in a direct comparison. Hoffmann doesn’t quite come close to his jump distance from the rehearsal, but at 133 meters he still manages a really good jump. That should put him in top ten territory.
16:57
Clemens Leitner (AUT) vs. Anze Lanisek (SLO)
For Clemens Leitner, it probably won’t be enough to reach the final, because 121 meters might not be enough in the end to make it further in the Lucky Loser rankings. His duel opponent is named Anze Lanisek. The Slovenian may not be showing his best tour, but he is still capable of making long jumps at any time. Lanisek proves that here too and sails to a strong 132.5 meters, confidently winning the duel.
16:55
Johann Andre Forfang (NOR) vs. Stefan Kraft (AUT)
What follows is an exciting duel between two high-class jumpers. Johann Andre Forfang sets up well and brings 130 meters up the slope. But is that enough against Stefan Kraft? The 32-year-old is definitely stronger when he does his jump cleanly. And that gets power. 134 meters means second place behind Fettner. Meanwhile, Forfang has taken first place among the lucky losers and ensures that Wellinger is now in the ejection seat.
16:53
Alex Insam (ITA) vs. Kacper Tomasiak (POL)
Alex Insam can also be happy after his jump. At 124.5 meters, he is keeping all options open and can still hope to reach the final, even if he loses his duel against Kacper Tomasiak. The Pole gives him no chance with 129.5 meters and clearly passes. Although Insam has to admit defeat, he takes the top position in the Lucky Loser rankings for the time being and thus remains in the race for a place in the final.
4:50 p.m
Eetu Nousiainen (FIN) vs. Manuel Fettner (AUT)
In the rehearsal, Eetu Nousiainen had already clearly lost his duel and this impression continued seamlessly in the competition. After just 117.5 meters, it was clear to the Finn that nothing was right here. On the run-out, Nousiainen loudly vents his anger and clearly shows that pretty much everything went wrong on the take-off. Manuel Fettner will then take care of the change at the top. The Austrian tackles the jump with enormous aggression and sails to a strong 134.5 meters. Fettner thus takes the lead and is 3.7 points ahead of his teammate Aigner.
16:49
Pawel Wasek (POL) vs. Maciej Kot (POL)
In the purely Polish duel it is Pawel Wasek who starts. What can he put on the hill? It will be 119.5 meters. Maciej Kot then countered with a solid 127.5 meters and emerged as the winner of the duel.
16:49
Niklas Bachlinger (AUT) vs. Sandro Hauswirth (SUI)
Niklas Bachlinger doesn’t give his duel opponent an impossible task with 119.5 meters, but this time there is no big surprise. Sandro Hauswirth doesn’t show his best jump with 125 meters, but he still makes it confidently into the final round.
16:47
Killian Peier (SUI) vs. Gregor Deschwanden (SUI)
Big surprise in an all-Swiss duel. Not Gregor Deschwanden, but Killian Peier moves into the next round. Deschwanden completely messes up his jump, is far too late at the take-off table and then steps into the void. After just 115.5 meters it should be over for him; he is currently only in fifth place among the lucky losers. Peier, on the other hand, takes advantage of the opportunity and is in the final round.
16:44
Dawid Kubacki (POL) vs. Kamil Stoch (POL)
In the duel between the Polish superstars and former tour winners, Dawid Kubacki leads the way with 122 meters. Kamil Stoch has been in much better shape recently and confirms that now. With 127 meters, Stoch clearly wins the duel, while Kubacki takes at least second place among the lucky losers.
16:42
Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal (NOR) vs. Valentin Foubert (FRA)
Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal didn’t get a jump in the rehearsal that would have really given him confidence, and now things aren’t working out for the 24-year-old Norwegian either. After 121.5 meters he can only hope that Valentin Foubert makes a mistake, because this distance is anything but comfortable for the lucky losers. But Foubert doesn’t let the butter take away from his bread and counters with a strong 127 meters. Sundal has to tremble and is currently only third among the lucky losers.
16:39
Vilho Palosaari (FIN) vs. Clemens Aigner (AUT)
With this jump, Vilho Palosaari doesn’t give his duel opponent any real task. It’s only 116 meters and then Palosaari also has huge difficulties landing, which means big deductions. How does Clemens Aigner cope afterwards? Terrific! Aigner catches his jump, gets into position really well and sails down to 132 meters. He takes the lead ahead of Zografski.
16:36
Robin Pedersen (NOR) vs. Maximilian Ortner (AUT)
Robin Pedersen already had his difficulties in rehearsal and even now the Norwegian wants far too much. At 123.5 meters the door is open for Maximilian Ortner. He doesn’t quite manage his jump either, but he wins the duel with 125.5 meters and is in the final. Pedersen takes first place in the Lucky Losers.
4:35 p.m
Rok Oblak (SLO) vs. Andreas Wellinger (GER)
In the next duel, Andreas Wellinger will be required as another DSV jumper. Rok Oblak from Slovenia has 122.5 meters to crack. Wellinger is actually getting along much better here than he did last time in Innsbruck, but this time it doesn’t work out. He doesn’t get away from the take-off table cleanly and lands after just 120.5 meters. The anger is clearly visible in the run-out. The duel is lost and even with the lucky losers it will probably be very close with this distance.
16:33
Naoki Nakamura (JPN) vs. Vladimir Zografski (BUL)
After Naoki Nakamura’s jump went completely wrong after jumping off much too late and ended at 116 meters, Vladimir Zografski had an easy time and confidently moved into the final after 129 meters. He should also have a good chance of a top starting position in the final standings.
16:31
Yukiya Sato (JPN) vs. Pius Paschke (GER)
Since Yukiya Sato from the Japanese team had to cancel his participation at short notice due to illness, Pius Paschke experienced an easy duel at the start and automatically moved into the final round. Nevertheless, for the DSV jumper it is of course a matter of creating the strongest possible starting position for the final with a good jump. As usual, he aggressively leaves the table and opens the competition with 125.5 meters.
16:23
Hörl wins the test, Hoffmann third
Before the competition, the athletes went over the jump in a test run. The best jump was delivered by Jan Hörl, who jumped 140.5 meters. Domen Prevc followed behind in second place. Felix Hoffmann took third place with 140.5 meters from one more hatch. The Austrian jumpers were once again dominant, bringing five athletes into the top ten.
4:15 p.m
All Swiss represented
The team from Switzerland brought all four athletes through the qualification, with Sandro Hauswirth and Gregor Deschwanden in particular likely to be the ones in line for good results. Killian Peier and Felix Trunz, meanwhile, are likely to be keen to recommend themselves to the Olympics.
16:09
Worries among DSV hopefuls
Even though qualification went without any problems for Felix Hoffmann and Philipp Raimund, there are still concerns for the team’s two hopefuls. Felix Hoffmann is struggling with knee problems, while Raimund is struggling with his hip after his crash into the gang in Innsbruck. The timing is bad, especially since the team’s veterans stumbled. Karl Geiger in particular is also having a hard time in Bischofshofen. Andreas Wellinger, on the other hand, got along much better than in Innsbruck. For Pius Paschke, after a solid qualifying result, it’s already time to get down to business in the first duel.
4:05 p.m
Domen Prevc before a great triumph
Exactly ten years after his brother Peter Prevc, Domen Prevc could secure the next Four Hills Tournament victory in the family. Before the final competition, Domen Prevc is comfortably ahead of the Austrian Jan Hörl with 41.4 points. He should now have little hope of overall victory and instead duel for second place with his teammate Stephan Embacher, who is only 0.3 points behind. Ren Nikaido is in fourth place with 54.1 points ahead of Felix Hoffmann from the German team, who is 55.4 points behind.
15:54
Welcome!
Welcome to the big conclusion of the Four Hills Tournament 2025/2026. It starts at 4:30 p.m.
