Timi Zajc wins Slovenia's first large hill world title since Franci Petek in 1991
Home favourite Timi Zajc claimed Slovenia's first large hill ski jumping world title since 1991 with a tremendous second leap in Planica. The 22-year-old was sitting in the silver medal position before his final jump, needing to oust Poland's David Kubacki and hope that leader Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan didn't match his score. Ad Only German jumper Karl Geiger could compete with his round-one distance of 137.5m and another monster leap of 137m took him 11.3 points clear of Kubacki.
