Ski Jumping: Bardal wins at Engelberg

Norway's Anders Bardal won the large hill ski jumping contest at Engelberg, Switzerland on Saturday, his first World Cup win of the season, ahead of Austria’s Martin Koch.

Austria's Thomas Morgenstern placed third, while Norway's second best, Tom Hilde came 6th.

Without a World Cup win since 2006, Bardal (29) became the first Norwegian winner of the 2011-12 World Cup season and climbs to second in the overall standings on 326 points, behind Austria's Martin Kofler with 408 points.
