Planica SJ: Malysz clinches World Cup title

Adam Malysz clinched the World Cup jumping season title Sunday with his third straight large hill victory after only a single leap.

PLANICA, Slovenia — Adam Malysz clinched the World Cup jumping season title Sunday with his third straight large hill victory after only a single leap.
    Snow and drizzle prompted the cancellation of the second jump. The Pole jumped 220 meters in his first attempt, which was enough to secure him a fourth career overall title.
    It was Malysz's ninth season victory and 38th career title.
    Simon Amman of Switzerland came in second, jumping 217.5 meters, while Martin Koch of Austria took third, jumping a meter less than Amman.
    Norway's Anders Jacobsen, who had a small chance of winning the overall title, came in seventh.
    Malysz had never won at Planica coming into the final events on the World Cup circuit's largest hill. However, this time he won all three.
    Malysz previously won the season title in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
