Double top Stoch denies Kasai historic gold in ski jump

Sochi: Poland`s Kamil Stoch won his second ski jumping gold of the Olympics when he triumphed on the large hill Saturday to deny Japan`s Noriaki Kasai the chance to become the oldest ever Winter Games champion

Stoch led by almost three points after the first jump, but a huge leap from 41-year-old Kasai in the second round put the pressure on the Pole. Yet he did just enough to maintain a lead of 1.3 points and secure the gold medal, to add to the world title he won last year. Slovenia`s Peter Prevc took bronze after a huge leap of over 140 metres in the second round.
