2010-11 Four Hills Tournament

Pre-tournament favourite Thomas Morgenstern lived up to his billing by claiming his first Four Hills Tournament victory. The 24 year old Austrian from Spittal an der Drau had won 4 of the 7 pre-tournament FIS Ski Jumping World Cup events and maintained his form through the tounament, getting off to a great start by winning in Oberstdorf, and also winning in Innsbruck and taking 2nd place in the final event at Bischofshofen. The final event was won by Norwegian jumper Tom Hilde whilst Swiss superstar Simon Ammamn won the 2nd event at Garmisch-Partenkirchen and also claimed 2nd place overall, meaning he still hasn't won the Four Hills Tournament.
