In Bischofshofen

Bachlinger showed a big performance at the home Continental Cup

At the home Continental Cup in Bischofshofen, where the ÖSV super eagles triumphantly ended the Four Hills Tournament on Epiphany Day, Ländle eagle Niklas Bachlinger presented himself brilliantly - the man from Schoppernau finished fifth in a prominent field of starters. 

In the first of two Continental Cup competitions in Bischofshofen, a Ländle eagle, Niklas Bachlinger, made a big impression in a prominent field of starters - Noriaki Kasai and Markus Eisenbichler were among them. The junior world champion went into the final in second place, behind the eventual winner Robin Pedersen (Nor).

The Schoppernauer's second jump was a little too short at 132.5 meters, so he ended up in fifth place. Ulrich Wohlgenannt from Dornbirn finished 18th - the Ländle eagles will have a second chance in today's second competition.
