Dawid Kubacki told Eurosport how his Saturday in the United States looked like. – Yesterday we were on our feet from 6:30 and returned to the hotel before 9:00. There wasn’t even supper anymore, because they figured it was only until eight o’clock. Now you have to go home and rest a bit because this weekend was very tiring.
Previously, Kubacki aired on TVN and summed up the weekend in Lake Placid. – How on a scale of 1-10 does he regret this weaker distance in the first series? 12. I messed it up, it was all too late then. Such a mistake. Despite everything, I have nice memories from Lake Placid and I will take a lot of positives from here. The atmosphere here was amazing, I will remember it for a long time. A lot of jumps here were really cool – added the vice-leader of the general classification of the World Cup.
Coach Thomas Thurnbichler decided that the leading Polish jumpers will not start in Rasnów next week. Adam Małysz, president of the Polish Ski Association. – Dawid jumps well, in Rasnov he could win, and a win could give him more confidence. But I immediately said that the coach decides. If I had to decide, Dawid would start in Rasnov – explained Małysz.
