The success story of ÖSV star Stefan Kraft

3 Siege

Stefan Kraft celebrated at the tour’s opening competition in Oberstdorf. 2014, 2016 and 2024 – no other jumper has won more times in the Allgäu. The Austrian likes to be in the spotlight on the Schattenbergschanze: in 2021 he became world champion in Oberstdorf.

4 jumps

There are in the World Cup that are still a blank spot for the Pongau series winner and where he has not yet been able to jump onto the top podium. These include two touring beaks: Garmisch and the Bergisel. The other two ski jumps on which he did not win: Titisee-Neustadt and Willingen.

10 Mal

In his career, Stefan Kraft only experienced the final as a spectator. That is a remarkable rate; in a total of 312 starts in the World Cup, he finished in the points 302 times. Curious: In his most successful season to date with 13 wins, the Pongauer came away empty-handed twice last winter: 39th in Willingen, 49th in Lahti.

44 World Cup victories

the Austrian has been able to celebrate so far. This puts him in third place on the all-time best list. Only the Finn Matti Nykänen (46) and Gregor Schlierenzauer (53) were more successful. The ski jumping experts are sure: If anyone can surpass Schlierenzauer as number 1, it will be strength.
