[1] Marius Lindvik of Norway won the event, which became his first Olympic medal.

Geiger was leading the 2021–22 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup at the start of the Olympics, followed by Kobayashi, Halvor Egner Granerud, and Lindvik.

Kobayashi was leading after the first jump, with Lindvik second, and Timi Zajc third.

Zajc had a mediocre second jump, and Geiger, who was sixth, advanced to the bronze medal position.

Lindvik's second jump was sufficient to overtake Kobayashi for gold.
