Malysz wins competition yet again, setting all-time record in Poland

Adam Malysz has done it again: with a jump measuring 212 meters, setting an all-time record in Poland, the country's most celebrated ski jumper took first place in the international ski jumping competition held over the weekend in Harrachov, Czech Republic. Thanks to the victory, Malysz has moved into second place in World Cup ranking, trailing his German contender Martin Schmitt by just 57 points. As Harrachov is just a few kilometers away from the Polish border, thousands of enthusiastic compatriots came to see Malysz, and cheer on, as one poster in the sea of white and red flags put it, "Poland's Batman". Malysz has earned the largest amount of prize money in ski competitions so far this season, totaling 121,000 Swiss francs. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p.1)
