Jan Ullrich Edges Sven Hannawald in Late ‘Schlag den Star’ Thriller for €100,000

A sudden‑death plane‑ring toss decided the episode after Ullrich rallied late.

Overview

  • Ullrich sealed victory at 00:51 in the final ‘Ringing the plane’ sudden‑death round, completing a 62:43 comeback to claim €100,000.
  • Sven Hannawald led for long stretches with wins in games like counting, football and memory, while Ullrich went 0:5 in the sport‑identification round.
  • Both contenders faltered in general knowledge as Ullrich named Picasso for the Mona Lisa and Hannawald guessed 17 for the historical count of popes.
  • A technical glitch hit the outdoor ‘Werfen‑Titschen‑Fangen’ segment, prompting manual scorekeeping before on‑screen graphics returned.
  • The live ProSieben show, hosted by Matthias Opdenhövel with Viviane Geppert moderating the quiz, drew reactions praising the comeback but chiding the quiz lapses and pacing.
