Sunday – Individual competition

In the individual competition on Sunday, the German men were unable to continue the success from the mixed team event on Saturday. Although the team showed improvement compared to the first individual event in the USA, it wasn’t quite enough to place in the top 10. Andreas Wellinger finished in 11th place and Karl Geiger in 12th. Stephan Leyhe (26th) and Philipp Raimund (28th) also made it into the top 30. Felix Hoffmann, in 32nd place, once again narrowly missed the final round.

In the end, at top was once again the overall World Cup leader Daniel Tschofenig, followed by his Austrian teammate Jan Hörl in second place and Slovenia's Anže Lanišek in third.
