Metamorphosis of Polish jumpers before TCS! Stoch’s reaction said it all

The euphoria and peace after Thursday’s Polish Championships at Wielka Krokiew in Zakopane are still a long way off, but their results have put a positive mood in the ranks of the team. The atmosphere improved with the jumps. This is a step forward, but is it big enough that the mood will be the same or better after the 4-Hills-Tournament?

A sudden change in the atmosphere around the Polish team. And even the results became satisfactory

The atmosphere is definitely better. It was obvious at almost every moment of the competition. In Nizhny Tagil, Ruka, Wisła, Klingenthal, and then Engelberg, the players had their heads down, sometimes even journalists did not want to talk to them so as not to finish them off. But here? The staff has undergone a huge metamorphosis, this cannot be denied. From long jumps in the trial series, after which Piotr Żyła and Dawid Kubacki joked with each other, to waving fans, to self-confidence in the statements of Maciej Maciusiak. Doleżal’s assistant said there was something to be happy about: the results of the Polish players were actually satisfactory.

The competition in the competition was at a high level, and in order to win, you had to jump clearly beyond 130 meters. It is known that this is partly the effect of a quite high beam at times. There was a bomb at 141 meters by Piotr Żyła, and finally solid jumps (133.5 and 132 meters), and attempts at 133.5 and 137.5 meters by Kamil Stoch. And it was the joy after them that the jumper showed so much joy that it amazed him. He supposedly only won another gold medal in the Polish championship, which is somewhat lost among his other achievements, but Stoch hugged his friends and had a smile as if he had won the 4-Hills-Tournament yet again.

Calm down before the 4-Hills-Tournament. Let the Christmas wish of Polish fans come true

The German-Austrian tour will be the most talked about now. The Poles have given themselves some peace: no one will worry about their disposition as early as before the qualifying and competition. And since it was very nervous in the team, now some slack and relaxation will be needed. The holidays will also help in this, during which the competitors plan to cut themselves off a bit from the world of jumping.

Then six of them will come back to him straight for the first big party of the season. The three jumpers were sure of the trip and with their disposition in Zakopane confirmed that you do not need to be afraid of them, but only expect what the good jumps in the domestic yard foreshadowed. In the case of Dawid Kubacki, there is little progress – Michal Doleżal and the entire staff of the team claim that it is related to the correction of a mistake in the access position, which in recent weeks was supposed to hinder him from jumping well. In the case of the other two competitors – Andrzej Stękała and Jakub Wolny – they had single very good jumps. May this be a foretaste of returning to a solid level in. We know both of them can do it.

Before the Polish Championships, it was possible to wonder if only three Stoch, Żyła and Wąsek would go to Oberstdorf. After them, it seems that the reasons for the perfunctory optimism are already appearing. But this is still an incomplete breath of relief from the crisis of recent weeks. For this you need to confirm this form in Austria. Let it be a Christmas wish for Polish fans, which will come true for everyone, including jumpers.
