Today in Zakopane, Poland, in which he is especially loved, popular "Bernar" took his first victory since 2010. It was long time since we had opportunity to see Bjørn Einar Romøren on the highest step of the podium, but now we see that he came back after injury stronger than ever. It was amazing to see 32-year-old experienced Norwegian standing on the podium with new generation of ski jumping - two young Slovenian hopes - Anze Lanisek and Cene Prevc.

Today Romøren turned out to be the best with jumps on 131 m and 129.5 m, although after the first round of the competition he was fourth. Only 0,1 point behind him the competition finished 18-year-old Lanisek, who gave two good jumps on 121 and 134,5 meters. Again the third place belonged to Peter Prevc's younger brother Cene, who stood on the lowest step of podium with result of 121.5 m and 129.5 meters.

Just behind the podium competition ended another representative of Norway Robert Johansson, who moved up from 12th to 4th position with jumps on 115 and 123 meters. Fifth place took Poland's Krzysztof Biegun, who was the leader after the first round, when he jumped 128 meters, but the second jump was much weaker - only 115,5 meter. Sixth place belonged to the best among the Germans Pius Paschke, who moved up from 17th to 6th position with jumps on 117 and 126,5 meters. Seventh place took second among the Poles Stefan Hula, who also moved up - from 18th to 7th position thanks to good jumps on 119,5 and 128 meters. In the Top 10 were also Robert Hrgota (122 and 123m), Michael Dreher (129 and 119m) and Maximilian Mechler (122,5 and 117m).
