Quadruple Tournament: Favorites, Prize money, Transfer

Who are the favorites on the title?

Karl Geiger comes in the yellow jersey of the World Cup leader for the first season highlight. The Oberstdorfer is not only a tour of the tour of the previous year, but also the best ski jumper of the previous Olympia winter. His hardest adversary is likely to be the Japanese You Kobayashi, who already missed several competitions because of a corona quarantine and is still overall. The Norwegians around Favor Tegnér Garnered and the Austrians for World Champion Stefan Kraft, which dominates the prelude in Oberstdorf particularly well, is a lot to contribute. The Poles for title defending Kamil Stock have disappointed in the previous season.

What other promising Germans are there?

Geiger goes as a number one in the tour, so much is clear. His buddy and room colleague Markus Eisenbichler has already achieved top results in this season, but most recently weakened at the dress rehearsal in Inselberg. Andreas Welling er also wants to shine in the limelight after heavy sporty years. For the first time in this World Cup winter is used Severin friend, who won the jumping in Oberstdorf 2015.

Are viewers allowed in the arenas?

No. The exclusion was clear for the two German stations in Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. For Austria, this was decided on December 23. First, the organizers had planned with 4000 people in Innsbruck and 3500 people in Bischofshofen. The reason for the short-term deletion of the audience is the omicron variant, as the Austrian Ski Association (OSV) announced.

What does the winner get?

If it creates a ski jumper to win all four qualifications and all four jumping, more than 150,000 francs are possible. On top of course, there is the prestigious golden eagle.

When is there a tour for women?
