SAPPORO (Japan), Jan 29: Japan’s Daiki Ito won his second ski-jumping World Cup in two days on home snow on Sunday, coming from behind to leap the round’s longest distance in his second attempt.

The 26-year-old Japanese ace, who lifted the first World Cup of his career on the same Okurayama Hill in Sapporo on Saturday, trailed in third spot after his first jump of 127.5 metres (418 feet).

But he jumped 137 metres in his second run to collect a total 243.7 points.

Poland’s Kamil Stoch led the first jump with 131.5 metres and leapt another 131.5 metres to come in second with 241.6 points.

World Cup leader Andreas Kofler of Austria finished third with 241.3 points after jumps of 122.5 and 135 metres.—AFP
