Polish ski jumper Kamil Stoch has admitted that he was lucky to win gold in the men's large hill event at the Winter Olympics in Sochi on Saturday.
The 26-year-old, who also picked up gold in the men's normal hill earlier this month, concedes that his technique was far from flawless, despite it being ultimately effective.
"I did such a big mistake in the second round, I don't know how I jumped so far," Japan Today quotes Stoch as saying.
"I was too aggressive. That's why I flew so far, but hey, what the heck? That's why I won."
Stoch's margin of victory over silver medallist Noriaki Kasai was 1.3 points.
