On Saturday, on the Olympic hill in Sapporo, the wind dealt the cards. Kamil Stoch was not very lucky in this lottery, as he gave both attempts with a strong wind at his back. In the end, he finished the competition in 8th place. For the 35-year-old, it was a special day – for the 400th time he appeared in the individual competition as part of the World Cup.
Kamil Stoch will look for luck in the lottery? “Because in this discipline I don’t have”
After the competition, the three-time Olympic champion was in a good mood, which he confirmed during an interview with Eurosport. The Zebu Hopper suggested that he start playing… the lottery. – I think I’m going to play darts, because I have no luck in this discipline – he admitted with a smile.
Moments later, he got serious about his score. The Pole was pleased that he once again made solid jumps. – I’m in eighth place in a tough competition. I will not complain about the conditions, because everyone saw how it was. Still these jumps are very good, but without super energy. On Saturday, however, they were really very solid.

This is very important, he concluded.
