Takeuchi takes ski jump STV Cup

Sapporo — Taku Takeuchi nailed a pair of solid jumps to win the STV Cup for the first time on Sunday.

Takeuchi, second on Saturday in the HTB Cup, had leaps of 132 and 131.5 meters at Okurayama hill to prevail with a winning total of 273.3 points.

Norway's Andrea Stjernen was second, while Junshiro Kobayashi was third.

In-form Daiki Ito, who produced the longest jump ever recorded at Okurayama hill en route to victory at the HTB Cup, could only manage a wind-affected jump of 86 meters on his first effort and failed to advance to the second round.
