Four Hills Tournament
Garmisch: Prevc in the lead, Hörl lurking just behind
If only he didn't exist - only Domen Prevc prevented the ÖSV eagles from a perfect start to the new ski jumping year! At the New Year's competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Austrians Jan Hörl and Stephan Embacher were only beaten by the Slovenian high-flyer in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,000 spectators.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Prevc, who had already been victorious in Oberstdorf at the start of the Four Hills Tournament, was ahead at half-time and also remained untouchable in the final. In the end, he scored 303.1 points after jumps of 143.0 and 141.0 meters, Hörl (141/131.5) finished 15.4 points behind in second place and Embacher (134.0/141.5) a further 0.6 points behind.
This trio is also ahead in the overall standings, but Hörl is 35.0 points behind Prevc and Embacher is 41.5 points behind. For Daniel Tschofenig, a successful defense of the tour title is now out of reach after finishing 9th. Hörl finished on the podium for the first time after four fifth places in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. But even more would have been possible - a hatch change did not exactly make Hörl very happy ...
The final result:
Prevc: "I hope I can continue like this!"
Prevc was happy after his second victory in a row at the 2025/26 tour. "This means a lot to me. It's really great, I hope I can keep going like this." He didn't want to hear much about the possible Grand Slam, i.e. winning all four tour jumping events in one tour, just yet. "At the moment, I have to focus on the things that make me strong."
The standings in the tour ranking:
Embacher: "Caught two really cool jumps!"
Embacher, who catapulted from 7th to 3rd place in the overall standings, was also highly satisfied. "A mega day again, very cool. I got two really cool jumps," said the 19-year-old Tyrolean after his second World Cup podium after Falun this season, where he finished second. He noted that there was already a respectful gap between him and leader Prevc.
"He will be very difficult to beat, but the tour has its own rules. We'll keep fighting and see if we can annoy him," said Embacher. With Maximilian Ortner in 10th place, a total of four ÖSV "eagles" made it into the top ten. Manuel Fettner finished 13th, Jonas Schuster was 24th and Stefan Kraft only managed 26th.
The standings in the overall World Cup:
For Timi Zajc, who had been considered one of the co-favorites, the tour is already over after his second disqualification. The now imposed "red card" excludes the Slovenian from the competitions in Innsbruck (already sold out with 21,125 spectators, note) and Bischofshofen.
