Overview
- Domen Prevc dominated the Oberstdorf start with jumps of 141.5 m and 140.0 m to take a clear lead in the overall standings.
- Timi Zajc lost second place in a post-event check when his suit was ruled about three millimetres too long, promoting Germany’s Felix Hoffmann to third.
- The ruling reflects tightened material controls introduced after past suit-manipulation cases, with zero tolerance now enforced.
- Germany’s bright spots were Hoffmann in third and Philipp Raimund in fifth, while Andreas Wellinger, Karl Geiger and Pius Paschke struggled or exited early.
- The Tour moves to Garmisch-Partenkirchen for qualification on Dec. 31 and the New Year’s competition on Jan. 1, with live coverage on ZDF and Eurosport before the field continues to Innsbruck and Bischofshofen.
