Questions & answers about the Four Hills Tournament

The most important questions and answers about the Schanzen spectacle in four acts: Who are the favorites for the title? The top favorite comes from Poland. Dawid Kubacki won four of eight individual competitions in the World Cup this season and leads the overall standings. The 32-year-old won the tour title in the 2019/20 season. Behind Kubacki, the Slovenian Anze Lanisek, the Austrian Stefan Kraft and the Norwegian Halvor Egner Granerud also have good chances. All three are jumping at a very high level this season and have already enjoyed at least one win each. Last year's triumphant, the Japanese Ryoyu Kobayashi, is still looking for his form this winter. The 26-year-old is not one of the biggest candidates for victory. What does the winner get? The prize money was significantly increased before the last edition of the tour. The tour winner receives 100 Swiss francs (around 000 euros). In addition, there is the usual World Cup prize money from the International Ski Association Fis for the individual competitions, which is paid out in stages to the best 100 athletes in each competition. For winning the qualification on the day before the actual competition you will receive 400 francs (around 30 euros). The tour champion also receives the prestigious Golden Eagle as a trophy. When is there a tour for women? That is still not certain. It was actually supposed to be held for the first time next season - the DSV and the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) reached an agreement with the Fis in April. However, nothing comes of it. The women's tour will not take place before 2024/25, ÖSV President Roswitha Stadlober recently said. There are currently “many factors that need to be taken into account that do not allow for an earlier introduction”. This year the jumpers are taking part in a New Year's Eve tour again. This time there will be four competitions, two each in Villach/Austria and two in Ljubno/Slovenia. Where can you see the jumping? ARD and ZDF are splitting the tour broadcasts again this year. ZDF will show the start on December 29th in Oberstdorf and the finale in Bischofshofen on January 6th. ARD will broadcast the New Year's competition and the competition on Bergisel in Innsbruck three days later. All competitions can be seen at Eurosport. The qualifications on the day before the competition are also shown by the broadcasting stations. Rest days are scheduled for December 30th and January 2nd.
