“It’s starting to annoy me”: German jumpers on a women’s Four Hills Tournament

German ski jumpers Selina Freitag and Katharina Schmid, joined by national team coach Heinz Kuttin, speak about the possibility of launching a women’s edition of the Four Hills Tournament.

All three emphasize that the women’s field has matured competitively and commercially, and they argue that the sport needs equal opportunities and visibility at its biggest traditional events. Freitag and Schmid describe how repeated postponements and vague promises over recent years have become frustrating, with Freitag summarizing the sentiment as, “It’s starting to annoy me.”

Kuttin adds that the organizational know‑how and venues already exist, and that the women’s World Cup calendar could accommodate a Tour. The trio call on stakeholders to set a clear timeline, highlighting how a women’s Four Hills would benefit the sport’s growth, media reach, and the next generation of athletes.

The clip appears within a package of ski jumping videos that also touch on broader topics in the sport, such as hill safety discussions ahead of Milano–Cortina 2026, equipment controversies, and the evolution of ski flying distances.
