Yes, Adam Malysz has won again!

Adam Malysz was crowned the king of ski jumping at the Nordic Skiing World Championship after winning the K95 title on Friday. Malysz won his second gold of the championship with jumps of 104 and 107.5 meters, ahead of Tommy Ingebrigtsen of Norway and Japan's Noriaki Kasai. The 25 year-old from Wisla, who won the K120 title with a new record of 136 meters last Saturday, is the first skier to win both titles at one world championship since Hans-Georg Aschenbach of Germany in Falun, Sweden in 1974. It was Malysz's third world crown after his success in lifting the K95 title at the 2001 worlds in Lahti, Finland. Malysz, who also won the World Cup in 2001 and 2002, had surprisingly failed to win any event before these, finishing only third in the famous Four Hills competition. "These are the luckiest hills I've ever jumped on," said Malysz, who was overjoyed with his two world titles. "I did not expect to win two golds and so I'm really happy, es pecially as so many people come to support me. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A12; Reuters; www.onet.pl) A.Z.
