Prevc Stumbles in Innsbruck Qualifying as Four Hills Race Tightens

Heavy conditions produced a 112‑meter jump, a 30th-place finish, renewed hope for chasers ahead of today's Bergisel round.

Overview

  • Prevc had won every event and qualifying round of this Four Hills edition so far and still holds a commanding overall lead.
  • A 112‑meter effort in difficult weather left him only 30th in qualifying, offering rivals a chance to close the gap.
  • Germany’s Philipp Raimund is sixth overall, behind fourth‑placed Felix Hoffmann, and said the display showed the leader is "no machine."
  • Raimund clipped an advertising board in the run‑out after qualifying, the board broke, and he said he is fine.
  • The third competition takes place today at Innsbruck’s Bergisel on ZDF and Eurosport, as Raimund also points to mental training and technique tips from Prevc.
