The Four Hills Tournament is organized as part of the World Cup and consists of four competitions held on German and Austrian hills consistently since 1952. The event is held every year in late December and early January in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen, bringing together thousands of fans from around the world under the hills. The winner of the Four Hills Tournament is the competitor who scores the most points in all four competitions combined. The tournament is sometimes referred to as a skiing Grand Slam and is as important to many ski jumpers as the Olympic Games or the World Championships. In addition to winning the prestigious title of winner of the Four Hills Tournament, the prize for winning is a golden eagle statue and a cash prize of 100,000 Swiss francs. Where is the Four Hills Tournament held? Traditionally, the order of the tournament competitions has been: Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen. The first two are held at Germany's Schattenbergschanze and Große Olympiaschanze, and the next two are held at the Austrian Bergisel and Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze. On the Schattenbergschanze (K-120 and HS137), the first competition of the Four Hills Tournament has been held every year since 1952. The hill has held three Nordic World Ski Championships - in 1987, 2005 and 2021. The hill's record holder is Sigurd Pettersen, who reached 143.5 meters in 2003. The competition at the Große Olympiaschanze (K-125 and HS142) is always held on January 1 and has become a New Year's tradition for ski jumpers and fans alike. The hill record belongs to Dawid Kubacki, who jumped 144 meters during the annual New Year's Ski Jump in 2021. The jumper who reached the longest distance on Austria's Bergisel ski jumping hill was Michael Hayböck, who jumped 143 meters. The facility hosted the Winter Olympics and the World Championships. The Paul-Ausserleitner-Schsanze is a large hill located in the complex of four facilities in Bischofshofen, its size is 142 meters and the construction point is 125 meters. The hill record belongs to Dawid Kubacki, who jumped 145 meters here in 2009. A short history of the Four Hills Tournament Ski activists from Innsbruck and Partenkirchen could not have predicted what would happen to the idea they had in the summer of 1949 in their cozy living room at the Maier house in Partenkirchen. It was here that the idea of a ski jumping tournament, held at the beginning of the year in Germany and Austria, was born. In the 2022/2023 season, the now legendary Four Hills Tournament celebrates its 71st birthday. The most successful in the history of the Four Hills Tournament is Finnish ski jumper Janne Ahonen, who is the only one to win the tournament five times (in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008). Norwegian Bjørn Wirkola was the only one to win three editions of the tournament in a row (in 1967, 1968 and 1969). The Norwegian ski jumper, together with German Jens Weißflog, took the most wins in individual competitions and stood on the top step of the podium 10 times each. Three jumpers in history have won all four competitions at one edition of the tournament - Sven Hannawald (in 2002), Kamil Stoch (in 2018) and Ryōyū Kobayashi (in 2019). How is the Four Hills Tournament held? The course of the competitions of the Four Hills Tournament differs somewhat from the traditional competitions held in the World Cup. There are 50 competitors in each competition, held under a knock-out system. In the first competition series, jumpers compete in 25 pairs determined on the basis of the earlier qualification series, from which the winners and the 5 losers with the best scores (so-called lucky losers) go to the final series. The second competition series is run according to traditional World Cup rules. Why is it worth buying tickets for The Four Hills Tournament 2022/23? The competitions of the Four Hills Tournament have been held for 65 years. The stands under the German and Austrian hills are almost filled to capacity every year, and millions of viewers follow the struggles of the jumpers on television. This year's 71st edition of the tournament is special - it is the first tournament held after a two-year break due to the coronavirus pandemic, during which the competitions were held without the participation of fans. This caused the struggles to largely lose their atmosphere. Therefore, this year there is a good chance that the tournament atmosphere will return in full force and accompany the fans and the jumpers themselves through all four stages of competition on the hills in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen. This is the main reason to buy tickets for these tournaments. Do you wonder where to buy tickets for the The Four Hills Tournament 2022/23?

Will the Japanese repeat last season's success? We will find out all this early next year. Recall - the first competition of the Four Hills Tournament will be held on December 29 in Oberstdorf.
