Great jump at Four Hills Tournament

Deschwanden qualifies for the New Year’s competition

The Swiss ski jumper Gregor Deschwanden made it to the Four Hills Tournament in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with a nice jump into the jumping on New Year’s Day.

Because Simon Ammann decided against Garmisch-Partenkirchen and for the Continental Cup in Engelberg, Gregor Deschwanden is now the only Swiss at this year’s edition of the Four Hills Tournament – and he delivers on Saturday. With a good jump of 128 meters, Deschwanden ranked 17th in the qualification and is therefore part of the New Year’s competition.

With the jump, Deschwanden created a good starting position for the first round. In the knockout duel, the 31-year-old meets Artti Aigro, who is absolutely within his reach. The Estonian came in 34th with a jump of 119 m.
