Money for men, shampoo for women: female ski jumpers fight for recognition in the shadow of the tour

Actually, ski jumper Selina Freitag had every reason to celebrate. After their victory in the qualification in Garmisch, the starting position for the upcoming Two Nights Tour could hardly have been better. It was the surroundings that dampened her joy a little. While there is prize money of 3,000 Swiss francs for a qualifying victory in the men’s Four Hills Tournament, Freitag left the ski jumping facility on December 30th with shower gel, shampoo and four towels in his luggage. Franconia? None. According to the motto, there was unfortunately no 500 left, the German told ARD. “I don’t want to complain too much about it, but you can see the differences.”
