A TEAM COMPETITION FOR THE GERMANS. SATO WITH A HILL RECORD

In Saturday's FIS World Cup team competition at the Stanisław Marusarz Hill in Zakopane,
the German team took the unquestionable victory. The team led by the former coach of
Polish team, Stefan Horngacher, won by 40 points more than the second team from
Norway. The Slovenians stood on the lowest step of the podium. The Poles finished in fifth
place.

The competition was very exciting, and the rivalry in the second round was breathtaking. A
total of 25,000 spectators on the hill and millions in front of the TV had the opportunity to
watch many very long jumps of over 140 meters. But the "king of the game" was Yukiya
Sato, who set a new hill record by flying 147 meters, improving last year's performance of
David Kubacki by 3.5 meters!
