Domen Prevc, who had previously secured the World Cup’s overall victory for numerous weeks, made a strategic decision during the initial round. He utilized a lower take-off point compared to his rivals, achieving a jump of 211 meters at a moderate pace. Despite this, his landing was precise, resulting in third place.
The difference between Domen and the second-place competitor is minimal, only four points separating them. Stephan Embacher, currently holding second position in the overall standings, has amassed approximately 13 points, or a height differential of 11 meters. Anže Lanišek, the second best Slovenian competitor after the initial series, recorded a jump of 191.6 meters and secured eleventh place in the final.
Timi Zajc, with a jump of 208 meters, also qualified for the final, ultimately placing 23rd. Žak Mogel, having completed a jump of 143.4 meters, finished 39th without a final performance. This initial round showcased a competitive landscape, with Domen Prevc maintaining his lead while others battled for the first, second, and remaining positions.
