As on Saturday, the German athletes only played supporting roles, but this time they showed a few strong flights. Andreas Wellinger (228.5 and 240.5 meters) made it to ninth place, Markus Eisenbichler (225 and 240.5 meters) was eleventh. Things went much worse for Constantin Schmid (22nd), Karl Geiger (23rd) and Pius Paschke (27th). The Planica Individual was the final competition of the longest season in ski jumping history.
