The Austrian ousted Robert Kranjec of Slovenia with his last jump, beating the first round leader by 0.9 points.

Finland's Harri Olli, who set a new hill record of 146m in the training round, finished third.

Overall FIS Grand Prix winner Simon Ammann skipped the last event.

"I'm a little bit surprised about my good results because I am still having some difficulties. I like this hill a lot and it's a great feeling to win here for the fifth time," said Schlierenzauer.

The new rule enabling a gate change in the middle of a competition round was used by the jury in the final.
