The 18 individual competitions of the Ski Jumping World Cup of the 2022/2023 season are behind us. Dawid Kubacki was the leader of the general classification for a long time, but after the struggle on the mammoth in the Austrian Bad Mitterndorf, he was overtaken by the Norwegian Halvor Egner Granerud. Currently, Kubacki has 1204 points and loses 112 points to his biggest rival. A chance to reduce losses will appear this weekend, when the jumpers will compete in two competitions in Willingen (HS 147) in Germany.

In addition to the two men’s individual competitions, there will be two women’s competitions and a mixed doubles competition. It has been known for some time that the Polish national team will not start in the mixed team competition, because the female jumpers did not come to Willingen. The Polish Ski Association explains this decision with health problems. Therefore, the jumpers will focus on individual competition. Thomas Thurnbichler chose Dawid Kubacki, Piotr ¯y³a, Kamil Stoch, Paweł Wąsk, Jakub Wolny and Aleksander Zniszczoł.
How did Thomas Thurnbichler explain the decline in the form of Polish jumpers after the competition on Kulm? “I knew that some decisions on my part were not good. Then I will not blame the players for not following my comments at this level as I wanted. I saw that I made mistakes. I wouldn’t say that the jumpers are tired, but they are definitely not at their best right now. This is perfectly normal – .
The jumpers will fight for more points on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday evening, the first training sessions will take place, as well as qualifications for the Saturday competition.
