Meanwhile Austria’s hopes are on Overall World Cup second Stefan Rettenegger and last years winner Johannes Lamparter.

Kristjan Ilves reached the top 5 four times this season and works hard to make a podium comeback on home soil. 
The Estonian superstar is the figurehead of the World Cup in Otepää and has therefore a lot of pressure but also support from his home crowd.

On the women’s side, Ida Marie Hagen arrives as top favorite for a victory, after taking over the yellow bib in Schonach. 
With last year’s double-winner Gyda Westvold Hansen and Mari Leinan Lund, three Norwegians are able to secure a win in Tehvandi stadium.
