Adam Malysz cruised to his seventh win in World Cup ski-jumping competition, using yesterday's event in Sapporo to boost his lead in the overall standings. With jumps of 132.5 and 136 meters, Malysz overcame volatile wind conditions that caused interruptions in the event and led several other competitors to drop out. Circuit competition returns now to Europe, with the next event this weekend in Willingen, Germany. (Reuters; Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 36-37)
