3rd place also goes to ÖSV
Only Lanisek better than Tschofenig in Willingen
World Cup leader Daniel Tschofenig has celebrated his sixth victory of the season in Willingen. The Four Hills Tournament winner triumphed on Saturday four points ahead of Anze Lanisek and ended a 15-year ÖSV drought on the Mühlenkopfschanze. His Carinthian compatriot Maximilian Ortner came third.
Tschofenig ensured the tenth ÖSV individual success of the winter in front of more than 20,000 fans, and there is a chance for the next one on Sunday. Ortner made it onto the podium, as he did at the season opener in Ruka, 13 points behind the winner.
Strong second jump by Tschofenig
Hörl, Kraft and several other aces struggled with unfavorable wind in the first round. Hörl improved significantly in the final, but Kraft was unable to do so. Michael Hayböck (32nd) was only a spectator in the decision. Tschofenig (135.5 m) was not impressed by the bad conditions at the beginning and took second place 0.6 points behind Lanisek (142). In the second round, Tschofenig (142) clearly outdid the Slovenian (139.5).
"That was really cool"
"That was really cool. It's very simple for me on this hill, I find it easy, it just works here," said Tschofenig, who succeeded Gregor Schlierenzauer as the next red-white-red Willingen winner. "Of course it's an honor to win after such a legend, maybe we can go one better tomorrow." Ortner was delighted with his performance. "I'm very happy, it's really cool. It has a very high status. The hill really suits me, I want to make two good jumps on Sunday too," said Ortner.
