Ryoyu Kobayashi won his 11th event on the 2018-2019 World Cup circuit on Sunday, the third day of competition in Willingen, becoming the sixth ski jumper in history, and the first Japanese, to post 11 wins in a single season.
Kobayashi, who had the longest jumps in both rounds, also claimed the overall Willingen Five win, in which all five jumps — qualifying and both jumps on Saturday and Sunday — counted. He scored 737.5 points to earn an extra €25,000 in prize money.
Despite struggling in the practice round in the men's large hill individual event on Sunday, Kobayashi jumped 146.0 meters in the first round then tied Germany's Richard Freitag with 144.0 meters in the second round for a total of 274.4 points.
