His gold is the first in the event by a Japanese athlete since Kasaya Yukio's victory at Sapporo 1972. Celebrated jumpers Karl Geiger of Germany and Stefan Kraft of Austria both failed to trouble the podium. That left the way open for Austria’s Manuel Fettner to take silver and Poland's Dawid Kubacki the bronze.

Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi held his nerve while his rivals lost theirs on Sunday, winning Olympic ski jumping gold on the men's normal hill in a wild and unpredictable Beijing Games final. Germany's World Cup leader Karl Geiger finished 15th in a disastrous performance, while hotly tipped Norwegians Halvor Egner Granerud and Marius Lindvik were also well out of contention. Kobayashi kept his cool to become the first Japanese ski jumper to win Olympic gold on foreign snow, pulling off jumps of 104.5 and 99.5 metres to finish first on 275.0 points. "This season I've been able to jump to the image I have in my mind," said the 25-year-old, who is second in the current World Cup standings and won this season's Four Hills competition.
