Date: Date: February 4, 1950

Participants: 42 named; 40 started; 40 rated;

Jumping facility: MacKenzie Intervale Ski Jumping Complex ( K -70)

World Champion 1948 : Petter Hugsted In contrast to the Nordic Combined ski jumping competition, there were only two rounds here. None of the 40 starters fell. Bietilä (USA), Däscher and Thrane reached the highest starting speed with 81.95 km / h each. The Norwegian team captain Birger Ruud had spoken out in favor of taking Hans Bjørnstad with him, although his victory came as a surprise. His fall was somewhat reminiscent of the 18 km winner Karl-Erik Åström . NorwayNorway 

The competition was held in a disruptive wind and very cold, so that a large part of the 10,000 spectators (other information is 8,000 - as United Press also gave other information about the weather conditions and the warming winter sun, temperatures significantly risen above freezing point - and the Schanze was in excellent condition despite this higher temperature) did not last until the end. Birger Ruud himself also jumped, but only as a forerunner (out of competition); he reached 65 (according to UP: 59) meters. It was also sensational that the North Americans delivered better results than the Central Europeans. Holger Karlsson (SWE), Robert Faure (FRA), Vieeko Nylund (FIN), Rolf Borde (NOR) and Guttorm Paulsen (USA) were nominated as jumping judges.

Petter Hugsted had the number 1, who came to 201 feet, which is 61.5 m. Supersaxo dropped significantly. Gordon Wren was the first of the US team to jump 62 m, the Canadians jumped properly, but couldn't get close to the top people. The favorite Bjørnstad landed after a quiet jump on 68 m, there were twice 18 and three times 18.5 points. Asbjørn Ruud slightly disappointed with 60.5 m. Christian Mohn's jump was more convincing than Bjørnstad's (two times 19, three times 18.5), but it was only 65 m. After Thrane (63.5) and Kuronen (64.5), Fritz Tschannen was 62 m. Picard (CAN) surprised with 61.5 m, and the 64.5 from Janez Polda (YUG) was considered a smooth sensation, Devlin and Barber (both USA) also did great with 67 m and 68.5 m, they had to but accept larger deductions of points. 62.5 m for Andreas Däscher were also surprising, depending on his performance. Thure Lindgren (SWE) was marked for his 66.5 m high (two times 18, three times 18.5 points).
Hugsted was (as was usual at the time - and this until much, much later - with regard to the starting order) again the first to open the second round, and he achieved a promising 64.5 m. For Supersaxo it was 54.5 meters. Bjørnstad went all out again, massive jump, 68 m - four times 18.5, once 17.5. So the Norwegian was the first contender for gold. Arthur Tokle 's 67 meters elicited a sustained
howl of enthusiasm from his US compatriots. Pietikäinen also showed his class with 67 m. Mohn fell short of expectations: Stylistically good (four times 18, once 18.5), but only 63.5 m. Thrane improved his position significantly with 66.5 m. Tschannen could not bring the hoped-for special performance with only 59 m. Polda now jumped 62 m, and after Devlin (67 m) and Barber (63.5 m) the young Swiss Däscher could hold his own with 63 m. Evert Karlsson came to the fore with 67 m, Lindgren was a clean 65 m, Stump was able to improve slightly with 56.5 m, and Bergmann, one of the favorites, was rated four times 18 and one time 17.5 for his 66.
