Overview
- Domen Prevc jumped 140.0 meters to win Bischofshofen qualifying and carries a 41.4‑point lead, roughly 22 to 23 meters, into Tuesday’s 16:30 final on ARD and Eurosport.
- Austria’s Stephan Embacher placed second in qualifying ahead of Jan Hörl, who remains Prevc’s nearest challenger in the overall standings.
- All five Germans advanced: Philipp Raimund was sixth, Felix Hoffmann placed 11th and reported knee pain he may rest after the Tournee, Andreas Wellinger finished 23rd, Pius Paschke 25th, and Karl Geiger 44th.
- FIS’s stricter inspections remain decisive, with Timi Zajc serving a red‑card suspension after two suit disqualifications and Anna Odine Strøm’s hidden‑insole case under review following a late medical attestation.
- The tighter rules have shifted the competitive order, elevating newer names such as Embacher, Ren Nikaido and Kacper Tomasiak as established jumpers like Wellinger and Geiger work to adjust.
