At Thursday (29.12.) the opening event of the 71st Four Hills Tournament will take place at 4:30 p.m. on the Schattenbergschanze in Oberstdorf.
Judging by the performances so far this season, it will be difficult for the starters DSV to interfere in the fight for the overall victory. But Wednesday’s start was quite promising. In qualifying, Karl Geiger was seventh and Andreas Wellinger eighth. All DSV eagles qualified for the competition.
The Norwegian was the best in qualifying Halvor Egner Granerud. The second became the favorite David Kubacki from Poland. The Austrian Stephen Kraft struggled to qualify and was only 44. In the opening competition, he has to face Karl Geiger in a knockout duel.

A victory in Oberstdorf should not bode well. In recent years, the Schattenberg ski jump has increasingly become a “cursed jump”.

In 2015 Severin Freund won on the Schattenbergschanze, in 2020 Karl Geiger won his home game. Another tour win has so far failed to materialize. | To the report
