However, it's the Russian Alexander Tretiakov who leads from Latvian legend Martins Dukurs after the first two runs, Kazinform refers to BBC. 17:30 Ski jump - men's large hill. Poland's Kamil Stoch comes into his third Winter Olympics as a leading contender for his first gold medal, having won the last world title and led the season standings to date. Switzerland's Simon Ammann, who won both individual ski jump titles at both Salt Lake City 2002 and Vancouver 2010, should mount a strong bid for a fifth Olympic win.
