Saturday's competition was won by Karl Geiger who had already played a crucial role in the German team competition. Behind him, the 4 Hills Champions Kamil Stoch and Ryoyu Kobayashi landed on the podium as well. 

The Japanese was then the one to show his strength on Sunday, winning with more than twelve meters advance on – hold on, 4 Hills Tournament Déjà Vu – Markus Eisenbichler. Third place was taken by Piotr Zyla. Kobayashi was then the one to win the Willingen Five overall competition, too.
