Ski Jumping: Kofler and Schlierenzauer triumph in Engelberg; Takanashi wins ladies tournament in Ramsau
The jumpers of Austria were again the dominating athletes in Engelberg (SUI) at the final two FIS Ski Jumping World Cup competitions before the Christmas break. Andreas Kofler and Gregor Schlierenzauer won at the foot of the Titlis-Mountain on Saturday, 15th and Sunday, 16th December, respectively.
Poland's Kamil Stoch and the 17-year-old German shooting star Andreas Wellinger where the only “non-Austrians” on the podium during the competition weekend. Stoch came in second on Saturday while Wellinger shared the second place on the podium with Kofler the day after.
Both events were competitions on the highest level and the field of the best 15 athletes was extremely tight. This also explains that Andreas Kofler, only ninth after the first round, was able to capture the win on Saturday with an outstanding jump in the final round.
Schlierenzauer (448 points) has now taken the lead in the overall World Cup ranking, ahead of Germany’s Severin Freund (430 points) and his teammate Andreas Kofler (396 points).
The men’s tour will continue on 28th December with the first stage of the famous Four-Hills Tournament, entering its 61st edition, in Germany’s Oberstdorf.
