Teen ace on song again

Gregor Schlierenzauer

Teenage sensation Gregor Schlierenzauer claimed his second World Cup victory of the season with a sensational leap in Engelberg. The Swiss 16-year-old delighted the home crowd by soaring 140.5m in the second round - easily the longest leap of the day.

Schlierenzauer lay just sixth after the first round, but went six points clear of Norway's Anders Jacobsen, who managed just 129m in the second round.

Poland's 'flying moustache', Adam Malysz, mounted the second rung of the podium while a disappointing second jump saw Simon Ammann drop to fourth.

He remains top of the World Cup points standings, with Schlierenzauer making it a Swiss one-two.

Several struggling big names again failed to find form, with Jakub Janda 14th, Matti Hautamaeki 16th and Janne Ahonen 21st.

Former Four Hills champion Siggurd Pettersen failed even to reach the final round, managing just 113.5m with his only jump of the day.
