The Olympic champion jumped 129 and 121.5 meters in Japanese Sapporo. The German jumpers have been waiting for a podium since mid -December.
At that time Pius Paschke won in Titisee-Neustadt. The 34-year-old, who also led to the overall World Cup, completely lost his outstanding form from the first phase of the season. Paschke left Sapporo after the first round and landed in 31st place. The day before he had become 23. And so that the best athlete from the team of national coach Stefan Horngacher was.
Austrian wins overall World Cup
The Japanese Ryoyu Kobayashi secured the victory in both competitions. At the end of the weekend, the 28-year-old won before Norwegian Marius Lindvik and his compatriot Johann Andre Forfang. In the overall World Cup, the Austrian four -hill tour winner Daniel Tschofenig is still at the forefront.
