"FIS rules stipulate equal minimum prize money for men and women across all World Cup events, underscoring a commitment to gender equality in the sport. That is not nothing - equal prize money in professional sport is still far from universal, and FIS deserves recognition for getting there. In addition, FIS raised minimum prize money by 20% across all World Cup ski and snowboard"
The 2026-27 ski jumping season will include the first women’s Four Hills Tournament. The event is held annually around New Year at Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany and Innsbruck and Bischofshofen in Austria, running from December 28 to January 6. Women will compete on the same courses and with the same equipment as men. The remaining requirement was infrastructure at Innsbruck’s Bergisel hill, where floodlights needed to be installed to accommodate both genders in the same program. An agreement among the State of Tyrol, the Austrian Government, the city of Innsbruck, Ski Austria, and FIS funded the floodlights. FIS also maintains equal minimum prize money for men and women across World Cup events and raised minimum prize money by 20% across World Cup ski and snowboard competitions.
