Third place went to Ryoyu Kobayashi from Japan, ahead of Peter Prevc from Slovenia and Karl Geiger. Stefan Kraft extends his lead in the overall standings.

    3:44: The victory clearly goes to Stefan Kraft. The Austrian has a lot of head start, stays very cool, lands at 139 meters and wins the day with a gigantic lead.

    3:43: Dawid Kubacki from Poland can't get past Leyhe either. Insane, the German has caught up a lot. Kubacki is fifth, even behind Geiger.

    3:42: Stephan Leyhe gets his first podium this season. Geiger lands at 124.5 meters and is fourth.

    3:41: Ryoyu Kobayashi doesn't come over either. In any case, we have a German podium. Only three are up, now comes Karl Geiger.

    3:40: Michael Hayböck from Austria is clearly back there. In the worst case, Leyhe is fifth.

    3:39: Leyhe remains clearly in front and only five jumpers are up. It will be a top result for the German.

    3:38: The wind is getting stronger now. Jumping is interrupted again and again.

    3:36: Kamil Stoch from Poland cannot get to Leyhe. The German remains clearly ahead.

    3:34: Leyhe can even put that on the podium. What a jump. The jury responded promptly and went down a run.

    3:33: Now Stephan Leyhe comes. The Willinger shows a fabulous jump to 142 meters. Nobody has been this far on two competition days. This is clearly the leadership.

    3:31: Yukiya Sato from Japan won yesterday. Now it is only 118 meters, it has nothing to do with the front seats.

    3:30: Ten jumpers are still up. The decision is imminent.

    3:29: The updraft is increasing again. Now it goes accordingly far. But that can change very quickly here. Sapporo is very changeable.

    3:28: We have a new leader. 138 meters for Peter Prevc, so the Slovenian is clearly ahead.

    3:26: Roman Koudelka from the Czech Republic is the new leader. 126.5 are enough for the 30-year-old.

    3:24: The top 15 are now at the top. Now it's all about the podiums in Sapporo.

    3:22: Robert Johansson from Norway also goes to 132 meters, but Huber remains in front.

    3:21: It's crazy. Suddenly there is no more snow and the wind is getting better.

    3:20: Now there is a lot of upwind. Daniel Huber from Austria takes advantage of this, 132 meters mean the lead.

    3:19: Daiki Ito from Japan takes the lead. Ten out of 30 jumpers are already down.

    3:17: 119.5 meters, Paschke is in third place.

    3:16: Piotr Zyla from Poland takes the lead. Now Pius Paschke comes.

    3:15: There is still heavy snow here. The inrun track in particular is affected.

    3:14: The leadership doesn't last long. Jan Hörl from Austria goes to 124 meters and is in front.

    3:12: Now Constantin Schmid is coming. The young man from Oberaudorf takes the lead with 118.5 meters.

    3:11: The start-up is extended. Heavy snowfall creates difficult conditions.

    3:10: 30 jumpers are upstairs, but at the beginning it's not about the day's victory.

    3:08: It's starting to snow heavily now. It doesn't make it easier. The 2nd round is running.

    3:05: So now it continues. The jumpers are getting ready.

    After the first round: a short break here in Sapporo, and we are about to continue.

    After the 1st round: Stefan Kraft from Austria leads after the 1st round with almost 14 points ahead of Dawid Kubacki from Poland. Karl Geiger is just behind Kubacki. Second best German is Stephan Leyhe as eighth, Constantin Schmid and Pius Paschke are also in the second round.

    2:49: Stefan Kraft from Austria has the yellow jersey, which gives in the wing. 139 meters are by far the best distance, power clearly takes the lead. 14 points ahead of Kubacki, that's half the battle.

    2:48: Karl Geiger is not far away. That is 130 meters, Geiger is at the front. Second place for the German, just behind Kubacki.

    2:47: The tour is already gone. Dawid Kubacki from Poland is in impressive form and takes the lead with 131.5 meters.

    2:46: Now the top four in the overall World Cup. Ryoyu Kobayashi lands at 128.5 meters, the Japanese gets good marks and takes the lead.

    2:45: Marius Lindvik can't get past Hayböck either. The Austrian stubbornly keeps up there.

    2:44: Kamil Stoch from Poland comes to 128 meters. He is third, just ahead of Stephan Leyhe.

    2:43: Daniel Andre Tande defies the conditions, jumps to 131 meters and is sixth.

    2:42: The wind is whipping in from the side. It is extremely difficult at the moment.

    2:41: It is still not that easy today. We have only seen a jump over the 130 meters so far.

    2:40: Yesterday's winner sits on top. Yukiya Sato from Japan shows a good jump again. That is 127 meters, fifth place.

    2:39: Leyhe does it well, that's 125.5 meters. This puts him in third place. Hayböck further ahead.

    2:37: Now we see Stephan Leyhe. The huge distances have not yet fallen today.

    2:36: Now there is a sudden upswing. Anze Lanisek benefits from this and takes fourth place with 127 meters. Michael Hayböck is ahead.

    2:34: Schmid doesn't get along so well, that's only 116 meters. Schmid is in the second round, but not much more.

    2:33: Now we see Constantin Schmid and Stephan Leyhe. There is currently a cross wind, which does not make it easier.

    2:32: Michael Hayböck from Austria is further ahead. But now the best jumpers are coming.

    2:30: 119.5 meters, Paschke is not satisfied. That's enough for the second round, but it won't be as good a result as yesterday when he finished tenth.

    2:29: 30 jumpers are through, now the best 20. Pius Paschke is on top.

    2:27: Things don't go any better for Gregor Schlierenzauer either. In difficult conditions, it lands at 108.5 meters, which will not work with the second round either.

    2:26: Over half is already down, Eisenbichler will not make it for the second round. Yesterday it was just enough, but today it is a bitter disappointment for the man from Chiemgau.

    2:24: Michael Hayböck from Austria is doing so much easier. 129.5 meters, that's the lead.

    2:22: So, the first German is on top. Markus Eisenbichler has a hard time with the hill, it has been going on all weekend. Only 114 meters. This is eleventh place, Eisenbichler will not reach the second round.

    2:21: Kasai is now passed through. That will probably not be enough for the second round.

    2:20: Even today the number of spectators is manageable here in Sapporo. But those who got lost on the hill make for a good atmosphere.

    2:18: 20 out of 50 jumpers are through. Keiichi Sato from Japan jumps to 132 meters and is the new leader.

    2:16: Antti Aalto from Finland clearly takes the lead with 127.5 meters. That was a good jump by the Finn.

    2:14: 15 jumpers are down, Kasai stubbornly holds fourth. Is that enough for the second round?

    2:12: We still don't see the great expanse here. But the conditions are stable, the wind is constant.

    2:10: Marco Wörgötter from Kitzbühel surprised the competition yesterday with a strong jump. Today the 17-year-old is not doing so well, that's only 108 meters. He will miss the 2nd round.

    2:08: The first German we see today is Markus Eisenbichler with the starting number 25.

    2:06: The first jumpers are down, Kasai stubbornly stays in second place. Is there something going towards the second round?

    2:04: Today in Sapporo the day's jumping. A night jump was scheduled yesterday.

    2:02: And we already see Kasai. The old man lands at 112 meters, which becomes narrow with the second round.

    2:00: So now it starts. 50 jumpers are up.

    Before jumping: Very bitter: Richard Freitag didn't qualify. It was just enough for the first competition, yesterday he dropped out after the 1st round and today that ... Friday is in a serious sporting crisis.

    Before jumping: So, now it starts. Then there too: 47-year-old Noriaki Kasai, who qualified today.

    Before jumping: The big hill in Sapporo is still jumping today. The Hillsize is 137 meters, we expect the best jumps over 140 meters.

    Before jumping: The qualification for the 2nd jumping in Sapporo is through. Five Germans made it and are there from 2:00 a.m.
