The 2023/24 World Cup in ski jumping continues on Saturday.
Then the first jumping of the Raw Air Tour takes place in Oslo, Norway.
chiemgau24.de is included in the live ticker for ski jumping.
Oslo - The men's ski jumping World Cup is slowly but surely entering the home stretch.
The athletes will still travel to four locations
this winter, three of them as part of the
Raw Air Tour
.
It starts on Saturday with the individual jumping on the large hill in Oslo.
The first round starts at 2:40 p.m., chiemgau24.de is
included in the
live ticker for ski jumping .
After the Four Hills Tournament and the Poland Tour, the Raw Air Tour in Norway is the third competition series that will take place this winter.
The winner and successor to
Halvor Egner Granerud
will be searched for over
nine days and 16 judging rounds
at three different locations .
The first stop is Oslo.
Ski jumping in the live ticker: Rule changes should ensure more excitement
However, compared to last year, there are some rule changes to make the tour even more exciting.
56 jumpers took part in the first qualification on Friday,
but only the
best 50 athletes
in the tour ranking will compete at the second stop in
Trondheim .
This makes qualification superfluous; you go straight from training to competition.
There will only be qualification again at the last station on the
Monster beacon in Vikersund
.
40 of the 50 remaining jumpers will take part in the competition.
In the
final of the Raw Air Tour on Sunday, March 17th
, the
best 30 athletes
will compete in the first round.
The weakest ten will be eliminated in the second round, and ten jumpers will still take part in the final third round.
Then it will be decided who the winner of the Raw Air Tour is.
Ski jumping in the live ticker: Germans disappoint in qualification
But now the focus is on the first competition in Oslo and for the Germans this could be a very unpleasant look after qualification.
Only
Philipp Raimund
made it into the top ten, he ended up fifth.
Andreas Wellinger,
on the other hand, disappointed with a 15th place.
He was followed by
Pius Paschke
(26th),
Karl Geiger
(36th) and
Constantin Schmid
(48th).
However, it was really bitter for
Stephan Leyhe
, who finished in
52nd place
behind the Ukrainian Vitaliy Kalinichenko and will therefore miss the first competition.
He now has to score well in the second competition on Sunday in order to be able to compete in Trondheim.
On the other hand, the Austrian Daniel Huber
presented himself strongly
, winning the qualification ahead of the two Norwegians
Johann Andre Forfang
and
Marius Lindvik
.
Stefan Kraft
, who continues to lead the overall World Cup, disappointed like his pursuers Wellinger and Kobayashi (10th).
He only finished 16th.
The Norwegians
in particular are the favorites to win the day
on their home hill.
Three made it into the top ten in qualifying.
They were also really strong in Lahti.
But
Peter Prevc
from Slovenia has also been showing really strong performances since his announcement that he would end his career after this season.
Despite the weak jumps,
Kraft, Wellinger
and
Kobayashi
should never be written off.
