Switzerland’s Simon Ammann Wins Individual LH Ski Jump Gold

Swiss ski jumper Simon Ammann has been a subject of controversy due to his bindings. The debate will likely continue to rage, because Ammann won the gold medal in Saturday’s individual large hill ski jump event.

Ammann is now the first ski jumper ever to win four individual Olympic titles. In his final round jumps, he achieved scores of 144.7 and 138.9. Both scores were higher than any of his opponents on either final-round jump.
