Austrian won third round of the 4-Hills-Tournament in Innsbruck
SKI JUMPING WORLD CUP. Thomas Morgenstern is only one step away of winning the 4-Hills-Tournament. 22 000 fans celebrated the victory in Innsbruck together with their idol. This was the third time in a row that an Austrian was the best in Innsbruck, it was Morgensterns first triumph on the traditional hill in the middle of the Tyrolean capital.

Ammann almost 30 points behind

Bischofshofen the icing on the cake
Morgenstern made it very clear in all jumps on the Bergisel, that he is the one to beat. He showed one good jump after the other and if he can only take half of this self-confidence with him to Bischofshofen, he will win the 4-Hills-Tournament. Morgenstern already won there last year.
Besides the winner, also Manuel Fettner (6th) and Andreas Kofler (7th) and Wolfgang Loitzl (9th) achieved top results for Austria - the Bergisel was in the hands of the Austrians. The comeback of Gregor Schlierenzauer was not perfect. On his home hill he finished 18th. The fans where still celebrated him.
Uhrmann and Bodmer on the up
Michael Uhrmann showed a jump on 126.5 m (same distance as Morgenstern) in the final round and moved up from 18th after the first jump to eighth. Pascal Bodmer was tenth and proved the upward trend of the German team. Also Richard Freitag (19th) seems to establish himself in the Top 30. "We have a good atmosphere in the team and that's good for everyone of us", explained Bodmer.
