Adam Malysz World Ski Jump champion - for the third time

On Sunday the ski jumper Adam Malysz, for the third time in a row, won the ski jump World Cup. He effectively won the title on Saturday when he came second on the first day of the last competition of the season on the mammoth ski jump. On Sunday he was relaxed, knowing that even modest jumps would make him victorious. Malysz came in fourth after very safe jumps of 212.5 meters and 213 meters. The main hero on Sunday was Finnish Matti Hautamaeki who had the best first jump of 231 meters. Malysz's main competitor for the World Cup, German Sven Hannavald, came in second. Despite a bad start at the beginning of the season for Malysz it became his best. (www.rmf.pl) M.M.
