Morgenstern, who won seven of the first eight World Cups this season and hasn’t won one in five events, was second. He had 247.7 points on jumps of 128.5 and 120.5 metres. Third place went to Anders Jacobsen, another Norwegian. No North Americans competed.

Janne Ahonen of Finland, who was fourth, moved into second place behind Morgenstern in the overall standings. The Austrian has 1,070 points after 13 meets with Ahonen second at 710. Gregor Schlierenzauer of Austrian is third with 707.
