Munich / Bischofshofen - There was great chaos in Innsbruck on Tuesday.
Although it was clear early on that with the foehn winds on the Bergiselschanze there would be no safe jumping at the Four Hills Tournament, the jury repeatedly postponed the start.
At 3 p.m. the final cancellation - and the move to Bischofshofen.
On the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze the 3rd competition will be made up on Wednesday.
This decision was welcomed by the athletes.
DSV hope Markus Eisenbichler even took it with humor and was ready to joke.
“I had my pants full in the wind, it is wiser that way.
Now I have to go home again and get new underwear for the next competitions in Bischofshofen, ”joked the 30-year-old Bavarian after the third Four Hills Tournament at Bergisel was canceled and moved to Bischofshofen.

The third competition will take place there on Wednesday (4.30 p.m.), before the grand and traditional final follows on Thursday (5.30 p.m.).
The decision to refuse Innsbruck was unanimously approved by the jumpers and those responsible.
"It would have gotten too dark at some point," commented Eisenbichler on the Bergisel facility with the still missing floodlights.
From DSV's point of view, the Innsbruck cancellation may even be a good thing, because the German eagles have rarely been able to shine there in the past.
Even if the gap to the leader Ryoyu Kobayashi is almost impossible to catch up, Eisenbichler and Co. want to try everything again.

"We are still these points behind and have to hope for a mistake from Kobayashi," said national coach Stefan Horngacher in front of the rare Bischofshofen double that had only happened once in the tour history - 2008. "If something happens , we have to be the first to stand at this point. ”Eisenbichler himself likes the ski jump in Pongau according to his own statement, but also describes it as“ merciless ”.
Karl Geiger is also still in the race for the tour podium.
The trial run begins at 11 a.m., before qualification starts at 1 p.m.
The first round will take place from 4.30 p.m.
