Malysz achieves several firsts in world-renown ski jumping competition

Ski jumper Adam Malysz became the first Polish competitor to win the Four Hill Tournament on Saturday. During the last competition in Bischofshofen in Austria, Malysz beat out all of his contenders when he made two spectacular final jumps, measuring 127 and 134 meters, while the second in the final standings, Noriaki Kasai, didn't even qualify for the final round. Malysz was the first ever to win the competition with a 100-point lead over other competitors and also first to score more than 1,000 points. His victory earned him 91,000 Swiss francs and a new car.
