In cold temperatures of −12 ° C and with a strong updraft, the competition was often interrupted and lasted almost three hours. Due to the conditions, the jumpers often had to wait a long time for their starting clearance and were warmed up with blankets. Simon Ammann had to leave the starting bar five times before he was given clearance. After the first round, Stefan Hula from Poland surprisingly led, but he was unable to defend his 5.9 point lead and fell back to 5th place. His compatriot Kamil Stoch , who was considered the favorite , winner of the Four Hills Tournament 2017/18 and at that time the World Cup leader , missed the medal ranks by 0.4 points.

In the second round, the hill record was equalized twice: First Robert Johansson and later Andreas Wellinger jumped to a distance of 113.5 meters. With this jump Wellinger secured gold and thus the first German men's gold medal in individual jumping since Jens Weißflog in 1994 and the first on the normal hill since 1984. The Norwegians Johann André Forfang and Robert Johansson won silver and bronze .

In the qualification Ryoyu Kobayashi set a new hill record with 143.5 meters. The Italian Davide Bresadola fell in the first round but was uninjured. After the first round, Kamil Stoch led ahead of Michael Hayböck and Andreas Wellinger . Hayböck, who surprisingly took second place after an unsuccessful season from an Austrian point of view, could not maintain the medal rank and dropped back to 6th place with a weaker jump. After the second round it was clear that Kamil Stoch had won gold and was thus able to defend his title at the 2014 Winter Olympics from the large hill in the individual. Despite two shorter jumps, he relegated Wellinger, who achieved the daily best distance of 142 meters in the second round, to second place and thus to the silver medal. Wellinger had more favorable wind conditions and thus fewer wind points. Robert Johansson won bronze like on the normal hill.
