Four golds for Ammann

 

Ski-jumper Simon Ammann conquered his nerves to claim the large hill title, following on from the normal hill one he bagged a week ago to become the only ski jumper in history to win four individual golds. He previously pulled off the double at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. "I'm speechless. It was a nerve-wracking experience," said the Swiss, who recorded jumps of 144m and 138m to beat off Poland's Adam Malysz and Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer.
