Freund had jumps of 132 and 128 meters on the large hill to win with 258.9 points, beating Japanese veteran Noriaki Kasai by four points. Kamil Stoch of Poland and Peter Prevc of Slovenia were tied for third with 251.5 points. Prevc, who is second overall, had the longest jump of the day with 134.5 meters in the second round but is now 94 points behind Freund with two ski flying events to come in Slovenia next week.
