Andreas Wellinger stunned reigning double Olympic champion Kamil Stoch to win the men's normal hill ski jumping gold in swirling winds at the Pyeongchang Winter Games on Saturday. Poland's Stoch finished a shock fourth as the young German won the title from Johann Andre Forfang, who took silver, and his fellow Norwegian Robert Johansson. The 22-year-old Wellinger, who had a nervous wait for the rest of the field to finish, adds gold in South Korea to the team title he won at Sochi 2014.
