2:32 p.m .: Stephan Leyhe (131 meters) prevails over Viktor Polasek (114 meters).

2:21 pm: What a mega jump by Marius Lindvik! 143.5 meters! Hill record set! It goes without saying that the Norwegian takes the lead.

14.17 p.m .: Daniel Huber jumps to the top with 136.5 meters. Great jump from the Austrian!

2:01 p.m .: Pius Paschke is the first jumper off the hill. 130.5 meters are a good start for the German competition. But it is not enough to beat his strong opponent Roman Koudelka. The Czech comes to 135 meters.
1:47 p.m .: Best weather conditions in Garmisch-Partenkirchen! The sun is shining. This also pleases the many spectators, who are already creating a good mood. So everything would be set up for a gripping New Year’s jump.

7:22 pm: Now comes the Austrian Stefan Kraft. He has trouble landing, but the flight phase was decent. Will it be ranked 1 or 2 …? In fact, it’s only 2nd place, probably mainly because of the landing. Karl Geiger now follows.
7.20 p.m .: Eisenbicher jumps to 123.5 meters. He was late on the edge, had to correct a lot. In the end it is only enough for 7th place. Too bad!
7.18 p.m .: After the two Norwegians Forfang and Lindvik, Markus Eisenbichler is getting ready. Geiger will follow soon.

6.12 p.m .: The eagerly awaited German duel: Raimund against violinist! Can the favorite Geiger deliver here?
6.03pm: Now the high-caliber jump. Favorite Peter Prevc jumps to 127 meters in less than ideal conditions. What can its Austrian competitor oppose? Philipp Aschenwald wins because he jumps to 132.5 meters. Prevc must actually be scared.

17:56: Difficult flight conditions for Kubacki with tailwind. The Pole still secured first place over 132.0 meters.

5.41 p.m .: Norwegian Robert Johansson had a bad start to the day and injured his back while sniffing snow. He starts anyway – and makes a strong jump. Even further than Daiki Ito. First and second place, Ito will probably be one of the “Lucky Losers”.

5.30 p.m .: Here we go! The Russian Evgeniy Klimov starts 68th Four Hills Tournament and wins the first duel.
————————–

————————–
17:53: The qualification in Oberstdorf ends with a decent result from a German perspective. Nine DSV eagles will start tomorrow. The only downside is the resignation of Richard Freitag, who is unfortunately still weak in form.
17:51: Stefan Kraft sits on the 1 with 136 meters. Now only the top favorite Ryoyo Kobayashi – and he shows small weaknesses. At 133.5 meters, the Japanese “only” finished fourth, behind his brother Junshiro. Perhaps he has saved the vastness for tomorrow.
5.47 p.m .: Now it’s getting really loud. Karl Geiger starts as one of the favorites for the overall victory. The DSV-Adler lays confidently 132 meters on the snow, qualifies easily and lands behind Leyhe and Eisenbichler on the 4th.
5.42 p.m .: Austrian Daniel Huber also screwed up his jump, but saved Gregor Schlierenzauer. He is there, completely to the suffering of Huber.
5:36 p.m .: Constantin Schmid (129.5 meters) and Stephan Leyhe (133.5) perform their mandatory duties better than Friday and qualify for the final. Then the next hammer: star jumper Gregor Schlierenzauer screwed up his jump completely and is likely to be out with 112.5 meters.
17:27: Disillusionment follows. Richard Friday’s messed up season continues on tour, 112 meters mean 31st place and the end of qualifying. You can see the disappointment.
5:23 pm: Now Markus Eisenbichler! It does not have perfect conditions, the landing can also be optimized. But the white is great. 134 meters – 1st place, that’s what it looks like! Moritz Baer had previously qualified with 124 meters.
17:19 p.m .: For God’s sake! Takeu Takeuchi falls on landing, both skis loosen and one of them flies in a high arc into the audience ranks. After the first pictures nobody seems to have been hurt. The shock can be seen by the fans.
5.15 p.m .: Gregor Deschwanden is the first of this year’s four hill tour to be disqualified. The Swiss suit was too big – but its width would not have been enough for the final anyway.
5:08 p.m .: The Bulgarian Vladimir Zografski and the Russian Dimitry Vassiliev line up behind Hamann and Roth with their expanses – both will be there tomorrow!
5:02 p.m .: Wow! 15,000 spectators are there today, qualifying record of the four hills tour. Tomorrow’s competition is of course sold out with 25,000 fans.
4.50 p.m .: Short break! A slight updraft is nice, but it no longer fits into the specified wind corridor and therefore you have to wait a short time. 16 other jumpers have landed, Hamann and Roth are still in the first two places. This shows that the two B-Team boys have really strong first appearances.
4.33 pm: Philipp Raimund does it much better. 122.5 meters could be enough for jumping tomorrow. Luca Roth (122.60) jumps just as strongly, Martin Hamann (133.10) also has a super distance and is sure to start tomorrow.
16.30 o’clock: Here we go! And a German jumper from the B team is right there. Felix Hoffmann presents the first width of the day, 102 meters are … let’s say … expandable.
4.20 p.m .: The conditions are excellent today, only minimal tail wind is blowing. We can look forward to great jumping.
4:01 p.m .: A glimmer of hope: this season Kobayashi is not quite the dominator that he was last year. The 23-year-old again leads the table of the overall World Cup, but does not win jumping after jumping like last winter. With four strong appearances, the Japanese seems manageable.
3.30 p.m .: One hour until the first jump of the Four Hills Tournament 19/20. There is already a lot going on in Oberstdorf, as always the jumping will be turned into a fat party by the fans this year.
2:14 p.m .: The World Cup stand before the start of the four-hill tour:
- Ryoyo Kobayashi (JPN) – 440 points
- Stefan Kraft (AUT) – 369
- Karl Geiger (GER) – 347
- Kamil Stoch (POL) – 275
- Daniel-Andre Tanda (NOR) – 273
…
–
18.Pius Paschke (GER) – 101
21. Stephan Leyhe (GER) – 87
23.Constantin Schmid (GER) – 79
30.Richard Freitag (GER) – 37
32.Markus Eisenbichler (GER) – 32
36.Moritz Bär (GER) – 22
2:01 p.m .: It starts in a few hours. The big question: Can the Japanese high-flyer Ryoyo Kobayashi dominate again as on the last four-hill tour or can a DSV eagle even be dangerous?
1:05 p.m .: Markus Eisenbichler jumped onto the podium last season, narrowly missing the big coup. However, the DSV eagle did not start so well in the new season. “I still have one or two construction sites. But I am physically fit and feel able to jump well with the fully charged batteries. I have that in me and I know it won’t take that long, ”says the world champion nonetheless.
Saturday, 10:31 a.m .: It starts today: the first competitions of the Four Hills Tournament 19/20. The new DSV national coach goes in with high expectations: “It is a realistic goal for us that we can get on the podium with an athlete at best. If that happens, we can be satisfied, ”said Stefan Horngacher on Friday.
7.12 p.m .: The German Markus Eisenbichler was one of the favorites after his sensational jumps last year, but Karl Geiger also attracted attention in the new season. Stefan Kraft (Austria) and Daniel Andre Tande (Norway) are also expected to have good chances. Ryoyu Kobayashi, however, remains a top favorite.
4:11 p.m .: The four competitions are also traditional this year in Oberstdorf (December 29), Garmisch-Patenkirchen (January 1), Innsbruck (January 4) and Bischofshofen (January 6).
12.03 p.m .: Tomorrow the qualification takes place in Oberstdorf, on Sunday the jumping there. The other dates: Garmisch-Partenkirchen (December 31st / January 1st), Innsbruck (January 3rd / 4th), Bischofshofen (January 5th / 6th).
10:54 a.m .: Tomorrow the whole world of ski jumping will be looking forward to Oberstdorf. Who can make an initial exclamation mark in the qualifying competition? Can a German jumper finally win the tour again?
Friday, December 27, 8:20 a.m .: Good morning and welcome to our live ticker for the Four Hills Tournament. Here we will provide you with all information about the ski jumping spectacle in the coming days.
