Japan has dominated the male scene for many years but actually, their start in 2022 is the best ever. At the same time, Austria and Slovenia have had a relatively weak start which partly can be explained by Jakob Schubert and Janja Garnbret have only done one event.

The latter two are, however, registered to compete in the two upcoming events in Salt Lake City starting 20/5 and 27/5.
