Summary Roman Koudelka of the Czech Republic clinched his second World Cup win of the season.

LILLEHAMMER (AFP) - Roman Koudelka of the Czech Republic clinched his second World Cup win of the season when he triumphed at Lillehammer where the competition was cut short due to high winds.
 

Koudelka s win also allowed him to take over as the overall leader in the World Cup after five rounds.
 

His 153.9 points on Sunday from a jump of 140m was enough to see off Slovenia s Peter Prevc (149.9 pts) and Austria s Michael Hayboeck (149.4).
 

Four-time Olympic champion Simon Ammann of Switzerland was fifth with 147 points while Saturday s winner Gregor Schlierenzauer was a disappointing 13th.
