The Austrian ski jumper ended the tour with a final score of 1106.7 points, 6 more the runner up, his teammate and today’s winner Michael Hayboeck (1100.7 points).

We have all taken for granted, that it was going to be again an Austrian, (in this case, the 21-year-old Stefan Kraft), the winner the 63rd edition of the vierschanzentournee.

Stefan Kraft succeeds, to his compatriot Thomas Diethart, who was the winner of the past season's edition, of the 4HT.

Already during trial jumps, the 21 year old ski jumper, has proven himself, with a good jump of 137.5m, beaten only by his team and roommate (they goes by the name of #roombuddies), Michael Hayboeck that did better with a great leap, he managed to get a jump of 142.5m.

In the first series we saw Stefan Kraft jumping 133.5m / with a score of 137.5 pts, and managed to finish on the podium (3rd) in the final round, and being crowned as the new #4HT champion.

M.Hayboeck in the first round get a 137.5m distance (the identical one jumped by Kraft in the training) with a score of 146.8, + 9.5pts (mostly all 19.5 from the judges), ahead of second place, S.Kraft. To confirm the current good shape, Michael Hayboeck get his first ever win in the World Cup,finishing in the first place ahead Kasai (2nd) and Kraft.

Who else has impressed in the first series, -but not only in the first series- is a young Japanese of only 42 years! Noriaki Kasai, third after the first round,had two very good jumps, 132.5m (135.7pts) and 137.0m (141.4 pts), is jumped once again of the podium, after the third place shared in Innsbruck with Simon Ammann.

Doomed tournee for Simi. The Swiss, had a bad fall and has been carried to the hospital:

Simon Ammann, who was 8th after the first round, ended his 4 Hills adventure with another and very bad fall today, in Bischofshofen. But during his second jump in the final round everything took, a different path, with the swiss, falling on his face during the landing (second fall of the season for Ammann in this tournament). The images showed on TicinoOnline, looked really bad, it appeared that the 4 time olympic champion, have fainted and fall unconscious. According to the various news coming from Twitter, Simi is now awake, and in stable conditions, but we still all waiting for an official statement by the Swiss delegation for more and specific news about it.

It is a real pity he had these two fall in Oberstdorf first,and than today in Bischofshofen. The tournee, doesn’t seems to be a Simon’s friend at all, especially not this year.The question now is, will he carry on? Will he try to win it next year?
