The defending champion was Eric Frenzel, who won this event in 2014 and 2018. Frenzel qualified for the Olympics but did not participate in the event. The 2018 silver medalist, Akito Watabe, qualified as well. but the bronze medalist, Lukas Klapfer, did not. Johannes Lamparter was the overall leader of the 2021–22 FIS Nordic Combined World Cup before the Olympics, followed by Jarl Magnus Riiber and Geiger. Riiber was the 2021 World Champion in individual large hill/10 km. Riiber had to withdraw from the event due to a positive COVID-19 test.[citation needed]

Ryota Yamamoto won the jump. In the cross-country part, the three athletes with the next best results in the jump, Greiderer, Julian Schmid, and Johannes Rydzek, soon caught up with Yamamoto and skied together, followed by another group 25–30 seconds behind. At 6 km, Yamamoto has already dropped out of medal contention, and Greiderer, Schmid, and Rydzek were 30 seconds ahead of the second group, then the gap started to narrow. The group caught up with Greiderer, but at 8.5 km Schmid and Rydzek were still 15 seconds ahead. Finally, they were caught up as well, and at the finish line Geiger was first, Graabak second, and Greiderer third, with Lamparter fourth not so far behind.
