- Hannawald, who was working at the event as a TV commentator, appeared in the finish area soon after Stoch’s winning jump and congratulated him.“I am positively surprised, happy, and a bit tired,” said Stoch, adding that the win was a “great reward” for him.After winning in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Innsbruck, Stoch said that the prospect of matching Hannawald’s record had not put him under extra pressure.https://wtop.com/sports/2018/01/ski-jumper-stoch-wins-all-stops-to-earn-4-hills-tour-title/
