Slovenia’s Domen prevc has already established a commanding lead, but the competition is far from over. Can anyone challenge his early dominance?
German Skiers Aim to Close the Gap
Germany is pinning its hopes on felix Hoffmann (28) and philipp Raimund (25), though Prevc’s impressive win in Oberstdorf has created a considerable gap. Raimund expressed satisfaction with his fifth-place finish in Oberstdorf, noting, “I’m very satisfied overall. It’s super close to second place,†and feels he still has room for improvement. Hoffmann, who benefited from Timi Zajc’s disqualification to reach the podium, also feels confident.
Hoffmann stated, “Apart from Domen, everything is very close together. I’m satisfied with my two jumps.†He trails leader Daniel Tschofenig by just 1.9 points, with Raimund another 1.7 points behind. The second competition promises to shake up the overall standings, at least among those chasing Prevc.

Good news for winter sports enthusiasts: the second event of the Four Hills Tournament will be broadcast live on free-to-air television, with two channels offering coverage. ZDF will begin its live broadcast 10 minutes before the start of the first round from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and will also provide a live stream on its media library.
