Vierschanzentournee New Year's Ski Jumping Live: Hoffmann and Raimund Chase Prevc in Garmisch

The Vierschanzentournee's New Year's Ski Jumping event, known as Neujahrsspringen, took place on January 1, 2026, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the Große Olympiaschanze. This second competition of the tournament features strong German contenders Felix Hoffmann (28) and Philipp Raimund (25) vying against the Slovenian leader Domen Prevc (26), who holds a commanding 17.5-point lead after winning the opening event in Oberstdorf.

The event kicked off at 14:00 with live broadcasts on ZDF beginning 10 minutes prior, supplemented by Eurosport coverage and a live stream on DAZN. For those without access to TV, a live ticker was available on BILD.de.

Hoffmann currently trails second-place title defender Daniel Tschofenig by just 1.9 points, while Raimund is 1.7 points behind Hoffmann. Both German athletes voiced satisfaction with their performances and optimism about the tight competition for podium placements. Prevc's dominance has sparked speculation about the possibility of an unprecedented Grand Slam—winning all four events of the Vierschanzentournee.

This event continues to be a highlight of the winter sports calendar in Germany, attracting significant attention alongside other major sports happenings such as football matches involving Liverpool and Manchester City, and the concluding stages of the Darts World Championship.
