World Cup leader Daniel Tschofenig was unbeatable in Willingen on Sunday. The Four Hills Tournament winner set impressive jumps of 150 and 148 meters, scoring 310.5 points to secure his second victory on the Mühlenkopfschanze and mark his seventh win of the season.

Norwegian Johann Andre Forfang came in second with 305.1 points after a final jump of 152 meters, while fellow Austrian Jan Hörl claimed third with 289.5 points. Stefan Kraft finished fourth with 287.9 points, and Maximilian Ortner, who had placed third the previous day, ended up in fifth with 286.5 points.

Tschofenig, who extended his overall World Cup lead to 1,346 points ahead of Hörl (1,143) and Kraft (895), commented, "It was an absolutely brilliant and really cool weekend. If no trouble, go for double." The competition, held on a wind-sensitive hill with fair conditions, added to the 11th individual success for the Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV) this winter. Upcoming events include two individual competitions in Lake Placid, where Tschofenig previously recorded a podium finish.
