Tour winner Ryoyu Kobayashi: Air traffic controller of Japanese hope – winter sports

Bischofshofen – Regardless of the unexpected dent in the shape of world champion Stefan Kraft, Austria’s ski jumpers did not do better or worse than expected at the 70th Four Hills Tournament. Podiums and victories are not impossible in the Olympic winter, as Daniel Huber proved on Epiphany in Bischofshofen with his first success in the World Cup. The 29-year-old from Salzburg jumped to the top from second place in the final, securing Austria’s first day’s tour victory since 2016 and even outshining Ryoyu Kobayashi a little. The Japanese won his second tour following 2018/19, but following winning all competitions of a tour once more, he failed in fifth on the Ausserleitner hill.
