Pius Paschke Leads World Cup as Vierschanzentournee Begins

Despite a recent setback, Paschke remains a top contender, showcasing remarkable improvement at age 34.

Pius Paschke enters the Vierschanzentournee as the World Cup leader after achieving five victories this season, a career-best performance.
A disappointing finish in Engelberg, with 10th and 18th places, highlighted technical challenges and unfavorable conditions, including snow and wind.
Former ski jumping champion Martin Schmitt believes Paschke's skills and confidence remain intact despite the recent dip in results.
The Austrian team is seen as strong favorites, boasting depth and top performers like Jan Hörl, Daniel Tschofenig, and Stefan Kraft.
Paschke's late-career resurgence is attributed to technical improvements, mental resilience, and his dedication to refining his craft over the years.
