Anze Lanisek claims third gold of FIS Ski Jumping World Cup season as the title race hots up

Anze Lanisek won his third FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event of the year in Engelberg, Switzerland to continue a gripping title race with Dawid Kubacki.

Lanisek took gold in the seventh event of the season with a score of 320.3 points to equal Kubacki’s wins for the year and reduce the gap at the top.

With 39 events there is a long way to go, but it is all set to be a real classic of a season with just 34 FIS points separating the duo.

Poland’s Kubacki finished second with 317 points to keep hold of the yellow bib he has held since the opening event in November.

Compatriot Piotr Zyla took the last spot on the podium with a score of 312.3 points to edge out Austrian Stefan Kraft to bronze.
