Wellinger wins home competition in Willingen. Ryoyu Kobayashi from Japan came second ahead of the Swiss Gregor Deschwanden.
Wellinger had to come off the beam twice before his final jump because of the wind. The Slovenian Timi Zajc showed the longest jump of the day with 153 meters. Last year Wellinger fell 161.5 meters after landing in the same place after a flight. The Pole Aleksander Zniszczol was surprisingly in the lead after the first round.
