The 74th Four Hills Tournament began with Austria’s ski jumpers immediately in the mix at the top of the leaderboard in Oberstdorf. After the first round, Jan Hörl is the leading Austrian in second place, followed closely by teammates Jonas Schuster and Daniel Tschofenig.

Slovenian World Cup leader Domen Prevc holds the halftime lead. In Sunday’s qualification, title holder Daniel Tschofenig rediscovered his form to place third behind the dominant Prevc and Germany’s Philipp Raimund. Hörl qualified fifth and Stephan Embacher sixth, while last year’s overall winner Stefan Kraft had a rough time on the Schattenbergschanze, ending up 33rd in qualifying but still safely through to the top‑50 main competition.

The report notes that fans can follow live coverage into the final round, with Austria poised to challenge Prevc after a strong team showing in both qualification and the first series.
