Prestigious Four Hills Tournament to be marketed exclusively by Infront for further four years
The 66th Four Hills Tournament ended on Saturday with record ratings and the outstanding victory of Polands Kamil Stoch, who was able to succeed in each of the four events. The so-called Grand Slam had only been achieved once to date, back in 2002 by Sven Hannawald. The successful conclusion of this years event also rings in good news for Infronts ski-jumping marketing activities.
The Austrian Ski Federation ( SV) and the German Ski Association (DSV) have extended the contract with Infront for the winter sports event by another four years until the season 2021/22. The winning cooperation, which began in the 2010/2011 season, covers the next four editions of the Four Hills Tournament. Infront will continue to own all the marketing rights for the event worldwide.
The Four Hills Tournament is the biggest annual event in ski jumping with the legendary New Years jump in Partenkirchen. It consists of four competitions held in Germany (Oberstdorf and Partenkirchen) and Austria (Innsbruck and Bischofshofen), always around the turn of the year.
Stefan Krau , Managing Director of Infront Austria said: I am very pleased that we can continue the cooperation for the marketing of the Four Hills Tournament with DSV and SV for another four years. Both associations are among the most important representatives within the International Ski Federation (FIS) and the Four Hills Tournament is certainly one of the most traditional sporting events worldwide. It is a special honour for Infront to go into the third cycle together with the SV and DSV.
Walter Vogel, Managing Director of DSV Marketing GmbH said: The Four Hills Tournament is undoubtedly one of the most important premium products in international sports. Thanks to the good and close cooperation with Infront, we were able to gradually increase the quality of the tour for all four locations over the past few years. In this respect, the continuation of our mutual partnership is a logical consequence for all the parties involved, both from an economic as well as sporting point of view.
SV- President Peter Schr cksnadel added: I am pleased that the long-lasting cooperation with Infront and the DSV has been extended for another four years. This ensures that one of the most traditional sports events of the International Ski Federation can be carefully planned and further developed until 2021/22. The Four Hills Tournament is often referred to as the annual World Championships by media representatives, which is entirely justified given the athletes starting list and by the services offered. How attached fans are to this event was once again made clear at the Bergisel Ski Jump this year. From early morning until the end of the ceremony, approximately 17,000 visitors have continuously celebrated and cheered for the athletes despite constant and heavy rain. Only a few other sports are so lucky to have such a fantastic audience.
