Maybe he just confirmed the statistics

All athletesletes that won the Four Hills with a Grand Slam have a strikes of 5 wins in a row (Hannawald in 2001/2002, Stoch in 2017/2018 and now Kobayashi)

If anyone can be the first ever with six consecutive wins....

Lindvik tied Ammann's 2010 hill record  

[Federer91 3,386]

The constant gate changing is the most infuriating thing.  Every time a jumper makes a good jump, lower the gate... Like they want to take the fun out of the competition. Everybody wants to see big jumps, not "safe" jumps. How is it fair in a direct knockout, when Lindvik does his jump from one position, then Zyla gets a lower one when it's a head-2-head competition...

.....but not to be.   newbie Lindvik follows up his hill record with a safe jump for the win, thanks to the Excel spreadsheet. 

 

 

Ryu-Kob holds on for overall lead.

Was watching this event on Eurosport and didn’t understand how the competition works as a whole. Could someone briefly explain it?

4 sages, 8 jumps. At the end the sky jumper with most combined points won

Four regular World Cups basically and indeed all points count.

 

One day before the competition there's the qualification, where the top-50 qualifies (the points of the qualification don't count towards the general standings, unlike in RAW Air, the 'new' tournament in Norway). In the competition, the athletes are paired based on qualifying results: 1 vs 50, 2 vs 49 and so on. The 25 winners of the head-to-head duels qualify for the final, plus the five best losers to get a total of 30 athletes.
