The 28-year-old led the way with an impressive 138m jump in the morning and finished 30.2 seconds ahead of compatriot Johannes Rydzek who had been down in 16th-place after the jumping event.

Japan's Akito Watabe completed the podium to repeat the third-placed finish he recorded in Ruka at the start of the season.
