Warsaw, Poland 4 February, 2007 Poland's champion Adam Malysz was in perfect form and had a record setting day that set Polish people ablaze once again with hopes of him returning to first place in the World Cup Ski Jumping Tournament.

His first jump of the series yesterday was 138 meters. He landed with a perfect telemark. His point scores ranged between 19.0 and 19.5.

His second jump was a sight to see. He flew a record setting 145 meters at the jump in Titisee-Neustad. He started his run down the jump with a calm look of confidence and just flew like only Adam Malysz flies. He actually looked like he pulled the jump up short as he approached the flat part of the course.

He said that wind conditions were perfect for him. That is definitely different than the conditions that he faced early in the season.

Malysz is currently third in World Cup point standings.

His former trainer, Apoloniusz Tajner, says that his form is perfect and he should hold that form for the rest of the season. He does not believe that those ahead of him in the standings will hold their forms and Malysz can finish number one.
