Simon Ammann after receiving the medal

Qualification: February 12, 2010, 10:00 a.m.
Competition: February 13, 2010, 9:45 a.m.
Hill size : 106 m; K point : 95 m
61 participants from 18 countries, 50 of them in the evaluation.

This ski jumping competition was also the first decision of the 2010 Winter Games. The qualification took place several hours before the actual opening of the Games. The highest possible contingent of four athletes came from eleven nations. Only two athletes qualified for the Olympic Games for Switzerland, Andreas Küttel , reigning world champion on the large hill, and the world cup leader Simon Ammann . There were no unexpected failures in qualifying - none of the top 40 in the overall World Cup was among the ten athletes who did not make it through to the first round. The longest jump with 107 meters was shown by Austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer , who was one of the top favorites alongside Ammann. Since he was pre-qualified like all other top ten athletes of the overall World Cup, the German Michael Uhrmann was officially listed as the winner of the qualification. After a longer run-up than the favorites, he had stood a distance of 106 meters and thus placed himself at the head of the field that still had to qualify. In addition to Uhrmann, two other Germans placed in the top ten of the qualification: Michael Neumayer in third and Martin Schmitt in ninth. The Austrians were all pre-qualified, as was Ammann; his teammate Küttel reached the final as 23rd without any effort.

In the first round of the finals, 51 instead of the planned 50 ski jumpers took part, as two athletes had tied for 50th in the qualification. The competition started without Canadian participation - all four Canadians had failed in the qualification - at 6:45 p.m. Compared to the qualification, the jury shortened the run-up, and there was no supportive updraft, so that the first distances were initially well below 90 meters. The first jumper to land at over 100 meters was the Czech Roman Koudelka , who accordingly held the lead for a long time. While the first Swiss Küttel was eliminated with a jump to 94 meters in the first round, both Schmitt and Neumayer achieved good attempts of around 100 meters. Uhrmann set a clear best distance of 103.5 meters, who also took the lead. In contrast, the first Olympic appearance of his teammate Pascal Bodmer was rather unhappy. Because of a suit problem - the zipper of his jersey was torn out so that the suit was open at the top - he was initially not allowed to start and only completed his jump after all the other athletes had finished the round. He then came to 95.5 meters, which meant that he missed a place in the final round. Even some of the Austrians did not repeat their performances from the previous season: Wolfgang Loitzl and Andreas Kofler missed the top ten in the first round. The other two Austrians also did not come close to Uhrmann's distance, which marked the top value up to the last jumper, because Ammann's attempt at 105 meters was enough to take the lead.

At the beginning of the second round, the leaders often changed, as each jumper took a lead on all previous ones. Initially, the distances remained similar in a narrow range of around 100 meters, in which Kofler also landed and thus could not improve. With Schmitt, the Norwegian Anders Jacobsen and the Slovenian Peter Prevc , three athletes completed a jump of over 103 meters each in a row. All three improved a few places and later placed in the top ten; Prevc was the best of them in seventh place with 104.5 meters. Only Schlierenzauer made another attempt, who was only in seventh place after the first round. At 106.5 meters, however, he still had a chance of winning a medal, as none of the following three athletes came close to his distance. Only the Pole Adam Małysz ousted Schlierenzauer with a jump to 105 meters from the top position. After Uhrmann fell back with a 102-meter jump, it was clear that Małysz and Schlierenzauer had a medal for sure. For these two athletes it was finally silver and bronze, because Ammann showed the longest jump of the day with 108 meters and clearly secured the Olympic victory as the best in both rounds. For him it was already the third gold medal after his double Olympic victory in 2002.

The Finn Janne Ahonen was in 16th place after the first round (with 111 m and 125.0 points), but he did not take part in the second round due to knee problems. Matti Hautamäki experienced a bitter crash as third after the first round with 131.7 points in 26th place, just as the Finnish team with 18th place of Harri Olli had a debacle. Norway also suffered a heavy defeat with Tom Hilde ranked 11th as the best. As on the normal hill, Ammann won ahead of Małysz and Schlierenzauer.
