With an impressive jump of 214 meters, Alex Insam gained five places in the second round of the World Cup ski flying in Allgäu and catapulted himself to 20th place. With his first jump he reached a distance of 202,5 meters, giving a total score of 393,7 points. This is already the sixth top 20 placement in the 26-year-old from Val Gardena's most consistent World Cup season to date.
The Slovenian Timi Zajc secured victory ahead of his compatriot Peter Prevc, who is ending his successful career at the end of the season. The Austrian Stefan Kraft, who leads the overall ski jumping rankings, came third.
