Stoch, Poland’s top ski jumper, on Friday finished ahead of Norway’s Johann Andre Forfang and Austria’s Stefan Kraft.

It was Stoch’s eighth World Cup win this season and the 30th in his career.

Stoch on Sunday won the Raw Air 10-stage series of World Cup events in Norway and secured his second Crystal Globe a week before the end of the season.

The 2017/2018 ski-jumping World Cup circuit, run by the International Ski Federation (FIS), features 31 competitions, including eight team events, in eight countries.

Thirty-year-old Stoch, a triple Olympic champion, earned his first Crystal Globe -- the overall World Cup title -- in 2014.
