Mike Holland first jumped to become the first American world record holder since Henry Hall in 1921. Nykänen would follow this up by landing a metre further. In the final round of that event, and in a show of dominance as he closed in on his second Ski Jumping World Cup title, Nykänen wowed the crowd with a jump of to punctuate his title win and effectively bring the Planica–Oberstdorf rivalry to a close.
