The 2023/24 World Cup in ski jumping continues on Friday.
Then the first jumping on the large hill takes place in Lahti, Finland.

Lahti - The men's ski jumping World Cup is moving further to the far north.
There are three competitions on the program in Lahti, Finland.
It starts on Friday with the individual jumping on the large hill.
The first round starts at 5:00 p.m., chiemgau24.de is
included in the
ski jumping live ticker
today .
After the
extremely unsatisfactory
trip to the
ski flying hill
in Oberstdorf for the German team, things should now go better for the DSV jumpers on a tour of Scandinavia on the large hills.
Ski jumping in the live ticker today: Wellinger is weak in the fight for the overall ranking
Andreas Wellinger
in particular
has to get back on track in Lahti after a disappointing weekend in Oberstdorf for his standards, when he was unable to achieve a podium finish either with the team or in the two individual competitions, if he wants
Stefan Kraft
to win the overall ranking
chase away.
But not only the Austrian, but also the Four Hills Tournament winner
Ryoyu Kobayashi
is currently ahead of Wellinger.
However, compared to the rest of the German team, Andreas Wellinger's record is fantastic.
In Oberstdorf, none of the other nominated jumpers could even come close to the
top ten
.
Karl Geiger
missed two competitions on his home hill.
He was not nominated for the super team and missed qualifying on Saturday.
Ski jumping in the live ticker today: Schmid returns to the World Cup
The 31-year-old has to get back on track as quickly as possible, because Germany's young talent isn't sleeping either.
Constantin Schmid
was able to secure his ticket for the next competitions
through the Continental Cup and the
bronze medalist
in the team competition at the Olympic Games in Beijing will certainly aim for a
permanent return to the World Cup team
.
But
Felix Hoffmann
, who secured the World Cup ticket for the competitions in the USA, Japan and Oberstdorf and has
now returned to the Continental Cup
, is also slowly becoming dangerous for Geiger.
The 26-year-old didn't deliver absolutely top performances, but he regularly jumped into the points and could soon give Geiger an unwanted break.
The usual suspects around
Stefan Kraft, Andreas Wellinger
and
Ryoyu Kobayashi
will be the big favorites in the race on Friday.
But the Slovenians around Oberstdorf winner
Timi Zajc
and the
Prevc brothers
Peter and Domen should always be taken into account.
Qualification begins at 3:45 p.m.
