Daniel Tschofenig Claims Victory at New Year's Ski Jumping Event

The Austrian skier takes the lead in the Four Hills Tournament, while German hopes for a win dwindle.

  • Austrian skier Daniel Tschofenig won the New Year's event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with jumps of 141.5 and 143 meters, securing the overall lead in the Four Hills Tournament.
  • Pius Paschke, Germany's top hope, finished ninth after struggling in his first jump and lost his World Cup leader's yellow jersey to Tschofenig.
  • The German team, which had dominated the World Cup earlier in the season, is now focused on individual performances as their chances for a Four Hills victory diminish.
  • Swiss skier Gregor Deschwanden and Austrian Michael Hayböck completed the podium, with Hayböck setting a new hill record of 145 meters in the first round.
  • The remaining events in Innsbruck and Bischofshofen will likely determine which Austrian skier secures the prestigious Golden Eagle trophy, as German athletes aim for damage control.
