World champion Kamil Stoch of Poland topped the standings at the Ski Jumping World Cup event in Engelberg, Switzerland on Sunday (22 December).Script:
On another great day for Poland's ski jumpers, Kamil Stoch claimed victory in the Large Hill World Cup competition in Engelberg on Sunday.
The 26-year-old leaped 130 and 130 metres for a combined total of 272.7 points, and a winning margin of 3.9 points.
It rounded off a successful weekend for Stoch, who was runner-up to Polish team-mate Jan Ziobro in Saturday's World Cup competition.
Ziobro's first jump on Sunday was a disappointing 128 metres but he leapt back into contention with a massive 133-metre effort - good enough for third spot on the podium.
Dividing the two Poles in second place was 18-year-old sensation Andreas Wellinger.
The young German - in only his second year of competition - put in an accomplished performance, jumping 131 and 129.5 metres in his two attempts.
Meanwhile Austrian legend Gregor Schlierenzauer had another poor day by his own high standards.
After finishing just 27th on Saturday, he placed fourth overall.
Although Schlierenzauer had longer jumps than both Wellinger and Ziobro - including a first-round 133 metres - he scored fewer style marks from the judges and missed out on the podium.
He is 58 points adrift of Stoch in the World Cup standings, Norway's Anders Bardal lies third.
