There is a decision! He is to save Kamil Stoch and Polish jumps. Big comeback

He was the best of the Polish jumpers in the first competitions, but he was doing terrible at the 4-Hills-Tournament: he did not enter the second round in any of the first two competitions.

When it seemed that things couldn’t get any worse, it was time to qualify for the competition in Innsbruck. In them, Stoch made a fatal jump of only 114 meters and did not even qualify for the competition. The best of Poland, Andrzej Stękała, took only 18th place.

The Austrian returns to the headquarters of the Polish team. The cat once called it “the fifth column”

After the first competition in Oberstdorf, the media speculated about a possible withdrawal of our jumpers from, but in the end it was not decided. The Monday performance of Kamil Stoch, however, overwhelmed the bitterness and led to the withdrawal of the three-time Olympic champion from the competition in the German-Austrian tournament. This decision was made in the evening by PZN.

However, this is not the only significant decision of the association regarding the weak attitude of our jumpers. As reported by TVP Sport journalist Filip Czyszanowski via Twitter, the well-known Austrian specialist Harald Pernitsch, who has already cooperated with our players during the term of Stefan Horngacher, is to join the crisis team of the team. At that time, he primarily controlled the physical parameters of our jumpers and thus had a significant share in their successes. Pernitsch then developed a method that gives competitors much more jumping power. From the season 2021/2022, however, he was only a scientific consultant at the PZN.

At the end of the previous season, Pernitscha was criticized by Rafał Kot, a former physiotherapist of Polish jumpers. – In my opinion, the coaching staff trained too little with the players between competitions. It is especially about the players who stood out from our four leaders. Out of curiosity, I talked with the staff. We had well-prepared facilities in Szczyrk, Wisła and Zakopane. And what? The players were hitting exercises in the gym and gym all the time. There are no jumps. There was a blind submission to Dr. Pernitsch, who was somewhere far away. He uploaded the plan on the internet and that’s it. He did not look at who needed what. The top four are fine. Rest? It did not work out at all –

Coach

I don’t know where this idea came from in Rafał Kot’s head. Maybe he knows something from Maciek. However, he does not know exactly what is happening in the frame and what Pernitsch is coming up with. It is beyond it. Anyway, you can see how our players are physically prepared. I don’t think anyone in the ski jumping world can compare to us in this respect. The program was adjusted so that the players avoided injuries. Pernitsch is a great professional who knows his job very well. I talk to him almost every day. Therefore, I do not understand that someone who considers himself an expert, although he is not an expert for me, can say something like that. Until I have no words. I’d just have to swear and scream
