Malysz wins World Cup season title

PLANICA, Slovenia (AP) - Adam Malysz won the World Cup ski jumping season title Sunday with his third straight large-hill victory after only a single leap.

Snow and drizzle prompted the cancellation of the second jump. Malysz, of Poland, jumped 220 metres in his first run, which was enough to secure him his fourth career overall title.

It was Malysz's ninth season victory and 38th career title.

Simon Amman of Switzerland came in second, jumping 217.5 metres, while Martin Koch of Austria took third, jumping a metre less than Amman.

Norway's Anders Jacobsen, who had a small chance of winning the overall title, came in seventh.

Malysz had never won at Planica coming into the final events on the World Cup circuit's largest hill. But this time he won all three.

Malysz also won the season titles in 2001-2003.
