Norwegians write about Kubacki. “The Polish archrival disappointed again”

Thanks to Saturday’s victory, Halvor Egner Granerud overtook Dawid Kubacki in the general classification of the World Cup and became its leader for the first time this season. In Sunday’s competition he triumphed again and strengthened his advantage over the Pole, who was disappointing in Bad Mitterndorf. The Norwegian media indicated that Granerud is probably heading for the highest laurels, and Kubacki is experiencing a significant reduction in form.

Halvor Egner Granerud shows “monstrous jumps”. Dawid Kubacki stays behind

During Saturday’s competition, the triumph of Halvor Egner Granerud was painful for Dawid Kubacki. After 84 days, the Pole lost his position as the leader of the general classification. He took 10th place in the competition. On Sunday it was even worse, because the Norwegian won, and the Pole was only 17th. Thanks to this, Granerud increased his lead in the general classification and overtook Kubacki by as much as 112 points. The Norwegians are delighted with the dominance of their jumper.

“The world is watching” and “Day of joy” – read the titles of the articles of “Dagbladet”. It is of course the world of ski jumping looking at the triumphs of Halvor Egner Granerud. “He never gives up doubts and makes monstrous and brutal jumps,” we read on. “His Polish archrival Dawid Kubacki disappointed again and was only 17th on Sunday, which means that now our jumper is leading in the overall score of the World Cup,” Eurosport quotes Norwegian sources.

“It looks like a man of steel. It’s scary to talk to him because no one can mess with him. He’s been really impressive in recent weeks. It’s almost too good to be true,” commented Johan Remen Evensen in the broadcast NRK television.

“It’s nice that for him it’s just another day at work. I don’t see anyone who would be able to beat him,” said Graneruda teammate Johann Andre Forfang on NRK TV.

“He’s just flying lightly for more triumphs. It’s a great season” – summarize the journalists of “Aftenposten”.
