Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer, the last of 32 jumpers, almost created an Olympic Winter Games record with an eye-poping jump of 146.5 metres. But as his left hand touched the ground upon landing, his jump score was brought down to 145.2 points.
The Austrians are also the reigning world champions.
