Atsushi Narita (JPN)
Things are going even better for the Japanese on the hill and he attacks Nittykoski at the top with his 96.5 meters. With 76.3 points, he pushed the Finn out of the Leaders Box. Atsushi Narita is visibly happy when he jumps up and clenches his fist and is first with 76.3 points.

Will Karhumaa (FIN)
It’s the first Finn’s turn. Wille Karhumaa will start from hatch 20 and flies to a solid 88.5 meters and sets the first best distance of the day for men.
13:10
Müller got there early
The Swiss Pascal Müller was not entirely convincing in his running today and only finished in 53rd place. This means that the Swiss rider is off the beam with start number seven. Can he still work his way forward?
1:05 p.m
Stefan Rettenegger with a strong starting position
Stefan Rettenegger (start number 59) has a strong starting position for the jumping after running, only 2.4 points behind. Although things haven’t really gone well for the Austrian on the hill in the last few weeks, he took a good fifth place in the PCR yesterday. If he can show this performance today, the ÖSV athlete will be on the first podium of the season. In addition to him, Johannes Lamparter (48) and Thomas Rettenegger (45) also want to have a say in the podium. The other Austrians: Lukas Greiderer (46), Fabio Obermeyr (44), Martin Fritz (39), Andreas Gferer (30), Franz-Josef Rehrl (26), Florian Kolb (17), Christian Deuschl (11) and Paul Walcher (10).

In the PCR, the two Germans Johannes Rydzek (start number 53) and Julian Schmid (51) got along best with the jump and took seventh and sixth place on Thursday.

The other Germans: Simon Mach (13), David Mach (33), Terence Weber (42), Wendelin Thannheimer (50) and Vinzenz Geiger (57).
12:50
Herola with a good chance of winning
Ilkka Herola has improved a lot in jumping over the summer and with only 3.3 points behind Jens Lurås Oftebro, who is not one of the best jumpers in the field, he has a good starting point for jumping. But Thomas Rettenegger, winner of the mass start in Trondheim, is also 16th in the jumping, only 12.0 points behind the leading Norwegian. Johannes Lamparter is also still hoping for victory, ten points behind. But the Germans around Johannes Rydzek (-7.4) and Julian Schmid (-8.5) also still have hopes for the podium, as do Vinzenz Geiger and the Austrian Stefan Rettenegger, who took a strong fifth place in the PCR on Thursday.
12:44
