3:53 p.m.:

We take a short breath, and we will continue here in a moment.

It actually looks like Ryoyu Kobayashi could achieve the sensation today: The Japanese is about to win all four competitions at the Four Hills Tournament for the second time.

Nobody has ever made it to the double Grand Slam.

With the qualification he has won, he currently has the best cards - but Markus Eisenbichler is on his neck.

42. Andreas Wellinger (GER)

3:43 p.m.:

Ryoyu Kobayashi cannot be beaten in today's qualifying, although he only jumps 137.5 meters, but gets more plus points and lands two points ahead of Eisenbichler in first place.

That's it for the qualification!

3:40 p.m.:

Karl Geiger, on the other hand, doesn't get along at all!

Only 123 meters for the Oberstdorfer, only 36th place. He will get a strong opponent and has to be careful in the first round.

A disappointment, but it's just the quality.

3:37 p.m.:

Giant sentence from Markus Eisenbichler!

Great jump by the Bavarian, that is the lead by a large margin.

Lindvik and Granerud are not approaching their width.

We want to see 139.5 meters again later, Eisei!

3:24 p.m.:

Stephan Leyhe flies at 130 meters and thus secures 13th place.

Solid, but really good is different.

With Markus Eisenbichler and Karl Geiger, two DSV eagles are still up.

3:23 p.m.:

Pius Paschke and Constantin Schmid start one after the other.

The conditions are not good at the moment, and the start-up is shortened.

Nevertheless, the two Germans manage the qualification confidently.

Paschke is 22nd, Schmid 14th. The opponents for the two and Wellinger, who is currently on rank 26, will not be easy in the knockout round.

3:17 p.m .:

124.5 meters for Wellinger.

"The ski hangs a little dead on the foot," says ARD expert Sven Hannawald.

Mediocre jump at best.

3:16 p.m.: Does

Andreas Wellinger get one off again?

He had a surprise in yesterday's qualifying.

3:12 p.m.:

Ex-tour winner Dawid Kubacki is currently leading the field.

The top jumpers have not yet jumped.

3:07 p.m.:

Severin Freund confirms his upward trend and shows a good jump again.

It goes up to 131 meters - that means fifth place at the moment.

Update, 2:32 p.m.:

The qualification for the last jump is running!

Today it takes a little longer for the German athletes to get their turn.

The first DSV eagle is Severin Freund with the number 42.

First report from January 6th:

Bischofshofen - The final is coming!

All signs indicate that Ryoyu Kobayashi is flying towards his second victory in the Four Hills Tournament *.

Even the Grand Slam beckons for the Japanese, he has already won the first three competitions.

But once he also has to deliver on the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen.

In all likelihood, German jumpers can no longer deny him the victory, Karl Geiger and Markus Eisenbichler jump a strong tour, but again it is not enough for the really big throw.

They are fighting for a podium in the last jump.

The Norwegian Marius Lindvik is probably the only one who can still dispute Kobayashi for the Golden Eagle.

However, he is 17 points behind, so he needs two strong jumps and at least one mistake by the Japanese.

After Innsbruck was canceled, the fourth competition will take place in Bischofshofen again.

Geiger has already ticked off the overall victory.

“That's through.

It's bitter, it's still bitter, but I'm looking ahead now. "

"Everything doesn't always go as you want it to, but we have shown again that we can jump with the front runners," said national coach Stefan Horngacher.

Will it come to a conciliatory conclusion?
