Summary

[Franci Petek], now representing newly independent Slovenia, was the reigning world champion on the large hill but the dominant figure of the 1991-92 season was the teenaged sensation from Finland, [Toni Nieminen]. Nieminen won the annual Four Hills Tournament early in 1992 and arrived at Albertville with the lead in the World Cup standings.

The Finn and fellow teenager [Martin Höllwarth] filled the first two places at half way with Höllwarth's fellow Austrian [Heinz Kuttin] a little further back in third. The two Austrians consolidated their positions in the second round of jumps but any hopes they had of taking a 1-2 were not to come to pass. Toni Nieminen flew forever and when he landed it was at a point some 6½ metres further than any other jumper. At sixteen years and eight months Nieminen was nearly two years younger than [Dick Button] and, as of 2010, remains the youngest male individual champion in Winter Games history.
