The Four Hills Tournament 2022/23 will take place from December 28th to January 6th.

The schedule with all dates and all ski jumps at a glance.

Oberstdorf – On December 28, the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) will open the Four Hills Tournament for the 71st time.

The ski jumping competition series has been held at the turn of the year since 1953.

The tour is one of the most prestigious competitions in its discipline as well as in winter sports as a whole.

Only a victory at the Olympic Winter Games or at the Nordic World Ski Championships are just as attractive for the participants.

The staging period for the Four Hills Tournament 2022/23 is between December 28th and January 6th.

The sports event inspires a wide audience all over the world.

In addition to real winter sports fans, the Four Hills Tournament is also a traditional part of the Christmas holidays and the turn of the year for many families.

This year, for the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, spectators can also watch the ski jumping competition on site in the stadium.

The starting position for the German team is currently mixed.

At the World Cup, the German jumpers have so far fallen well short of expectations.

Top athletes like Karl Geiger or Markus Eisenbichler are chasing their former form and constantly missing out on the podium places in the World Cup.

Pius Paschke and Andreas Wellinger are also chasing the world leaders and leaving behind important points for the overall standings.

The Japanese Ryōyū Kobayashi competes as the defending champion of the Four Hills Tournament.

He has twice won overall on the hills in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen.
