Super Stoch seizes the initiative after Wisla heroics

On his home country's slopes, Stoch amassed 268.0 points with leaps of 133m and 124m to take the top spot.

His nearest rival on the day, Austria's Stefan Kraft, jumped 133m and 117m in his two leaps, securing an impressive 251.7 points.

German Andreas Wellinger finished third on 249.1 points with leads of 127.5m and 120.5m.

After the win, Stoch said the win was down to hard work. "I didn't know that I had such a big lead over Stefan Kraft," Stoch said.

"I have chronic knee problems, sometimes it's better and sometimes I feel the pain, like yesterday.

"Today it was okay and so I could show two good jumps. It's nice to wear the yellow bib. This is the result of my hard work and it's also a challenge to defend it and continue to jump well."

Second-placed Kraft said he will take great confidence after his podium finish.

"I'm very satisfied with the result, it was a great competition. My first jump was very good, the second one was a bit late at the take-off.

"Today I had no chance to beat Kamil, he is in a great shape.

"I feel strong again and want to fight for the podium in every competition."

Stoch leads the overall standings with 733 points, ahead of Slovenia's Domen Prevc (691) and Norway's Daniel Andre Tande (687), who finished fifth and fourth in Wisla respectively.
