What an amazing weekend for the Norwegians in Willingen: After the victory in the team competition, Anders Bardal achieved his third win this season and his team now has a clear lead in the FIS Team Tour, where the winning team is awarded with 100 000 Euro.
Bardal was already in the lead after the first round and then showed a jump on 148 m in the final. With a total of 277.0 points he won ahead of Czech Roman Koudelka, who reached 270.3 points and will be more than happy with this second place. It's a career-best for him. Koudelka already showed an outstanding performance in Saturday's team event and his first podium result this season is well-deserved.

The third place went to Daiki Ito, who is jumping unbelievably consistent right now. Because his teammate Taku Takeuchi was sixth behind strong Slovene Peter Prevc, the Japanese team also moved up in the FIS Team Tour ranking. With 1478.5 points Japan is now second behind Norway (1515.4 points).
It's only a matter of time until Peter Prevc will be on the podium in the World Cup for the first time. Kamil Stoch finished fifth, local hero Richard Freitag was eighth. Severin Freund was tenth. With these performance Germany is now third in the Team Tour with 1459.4 points, ahead of Austria (1459.0 points).
Not the weekend of the Austrians
It was just not the weekend of the Austrians. First the defeat in the team competition, then four of seven Austrians could not qualify for the final round. Among them World Cup leader Andreas Kofler, who was only 45th with a 111 m jump. Thomas Morgenstern was 13th, Gregor Schlierenzauer only 18th.
Surprisingly it was Martin Koch who achieved the best result for Austria today as ninth and kept the chances of the team alive to defend the overall victory at the FIS Team Tour. Because only the points of the two best athletes of a team count for the overall ranking.
Take-off table cut
Due to the sometimes strong headwind there were not enough gates to reduce the inrun length. So about one meter of the take-off table had to be cut off.
Anders Bardal is now also wearing the yellow leader's bib in the World Cup. The Norwegian, who was on the podium eleven teams, scored 1117 points. Since he is working with the new head coach Alex Stoeckl, the performances of the 29-year-old are amazing. Schlierenzauer is now second with 1059 points, Kofler is third (1049 points).
