Result
Ville Kantee of Finland won the men's individual large-hill World Cup competition at Willingen on 3 February 2001. Kantee's total of 293.2 points placed him 8.9 ahead of Poland's Adam Malysz, who finished on 284.3. Risto Jussilainen gave Finland a second place on the podium by finishing third.
Competition detail
The result followed Finland's victory in the team competition the previous day, in which both Kantee and Jussilainen had participated. The individual contest created a separate outcome: Kantee prevailed over Malysz, while Japan's Hideharu Miyahira finished fourth and Austria's Wolfgang Loitzl fifth in the official classification.
FIS's retrospective on the first two decades of the century identifies this Willingen success as Kantee's one World Cup victory after the 1999/2000 season. That distinction supplies career context without turning the performance into a claim about a later season or a separate world-championship title.
Context and dates
The FIS event catalogue fixes this competition on 3 February, between the team event and another individual contest on 4 February. The podium order and winner's margin are corroborated by the specialist competition history. Jussilainen's points total is omitted because the displayed FIS numeric field conflicts with the independently recorded total; the official third-place classification is unambiguous.
