Karl Geiger and Anže Lanišek are the silver and bronze medalists, respectively.

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

Kobayashi won the first spring, six points ahead of Peter Prevc.

Kobayashi became the first Japanese athlete to win the ski jumping event after the 1998 games in Nagano, Japan, and second Japanese athlete to win the individual normal hill event after Yukio Kasaya in 1972.

This was also the first time that a Japanese athlete won a gold medal in a ski jumping event outside of Japan.
