The second place on Sunday went to local hero Stefan Kraft. The 4-Hills-Tournament winner of 2015, third-best Austrian in sixth on the day before, scored 247.3 points with jumps of 111 m and 112.5 m. After the competition Stefan Kraft praised the performance of the winner. "I always said that if you are among the best in the COC, you can also be among the best in the World Cup. The way Markus Eisenbichler is jumping right now, I think he would also be capable of winning in the Grand Prix."
