As the “Goniec” portal reminds us, the first weekend of the Ski Jumping World Cup is behind us. Unfortunately, Polish competitors cannot count it as particularly successful. After Sunday's defeat, Dawid Kubacki spoke out. The ski jumper made a certain declaration. Fans hope that these predictions will come true.
Polish ski jumpers did not present themselves at their best
The World Cup carousel started last weekend. Fans were hoping that our team, with Kubacki and Stoch at the forefront, would show what they are made of. Unfortunately, our ski jumpers will not count the competition in Lillehammer, Norway among their best. On Saturday, our best representative took 22nd place, on Sunday the best of them was 23rd.
Dawid Kubacki, who finished the competition in 33rd place, failed to qualify for the second series of Sunday's competition. Not only the fans, but also the jumper himself, did not hide their disappointment with the result.
In a conversation with Eurosport journalists, he did not hide that the change in the height of the starting beam had an impact on his result, although he also did not hide the fact that he was not yet in his peak form.
Kubacki spoke out after the defeat
“I don't know maybe I'm too old, I'm afraid to jump like that and I have to aim at these tracks with this beam. It causes me this slight difficulty, but it can't be an excuse in any way” – Kubacki told a Eurosport journalist.
The jumper admitted that he wants to return to competition and approach the next competition with even greater calm. Kubacki does not hide that he has high hopes for the competition in Ruka. He emphasized, that this hill is more airy and as he admitted, he would like to use it.
Kuba Wolny will go to Finland instead of Maciej Kot. Let's hope that this time our ski jumpers will show what they are really capable of and will fight for the highest positions.
