The second time, in a tailwind that was unfavorable to the jump, he marked 92 meters 50 and took the lead at this point, but the following European players further increased the flight distance and finished 6th with a total point of 250.3.
In addition, Ito was 12th, Kaori Iwabuchi was 17th, and Yuka Seto was 27th.
