Kamil Stoch rose up to the top of the standings briefly to give the home fans something to cheer about after a disappointing first jump but he was soon overtaken by Slovenia’s Anze Lanisek.

Neither of the Japanese jumpers Daiki Ito and defending World Cup champion Ryoyo Kobayashi could match Lanisek until Tande jumped again and moved 15.8 points clear.
