If anyone was expecting a big breakthrough during official training in Bergisel, they were rather bitterly disappointed. We could see single, better attempts by Doleżal’s charges, such as Andrzej Stękała in the first training, or Piotr Żyła and Kamil Stoch in the second. Overall, however, the Polish national team did poorly. continues and ours are still looking for form.
Unequal form of Polish jumpers in training
In the first training, the Poles were respectively: 20th Andrzej Stękała, 24th Dawid Kubacki, 25th Paweł Wąsek, 36th Piotr Żyła, 45. Kamil Stoch and 47. Jakub Wolny. In the second, Kamil Stoch, who looks the best of our players, performed much better – this time Kamil Stoch showed himself well, with 112.5 m in difficult conditions and 19. Paweł Wąsek was still in the TOP 30, taking 29th place. The others decidedly further: Kubacki 46., Stękała 62., Wolny 63.
What is particularly worrying are the very uneven jumps. In one attempt, individual jumpers give hope for a breakthrough, and in the next it is much worse. The fans could also collapse with the first jump. Observers noticed that the three-time Olympic champion was quite unlucky with the conditions today. But it was in its context that the discussion whether he should still compete in recent days has arisen.
– It would be a pity if Kamil withdrew. The 4-Hills-Tournament would not be so attractive without him. But now Kamil has to feel good again so that he can fight for medals at the Olympics -. During the training day, Kamil achieved better results, it was worse in the competition. The question, then, is whether, on the basis of official training, we are able to draw any conclusions, looking at how this season is going for Polish eagles?
The world leaders strongly jumped back in white and red. Markus triumphed in the first training with a hill record (139 m). However, the FIS only recognizes those records that were submitted in the series under evaluation. In any case, the German clearly shows that he wants to keep (7th in training) on his way to the second grand slam in his career. In the second attempt, the Japanese turned out to be better, taking the 5th place, and Eisenbichler the 8th. The first result was achieved by Timi Zajc.
Qualifiers will start at 1.30 PM. Live coverage on Sport.pl and the Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
