On Thursday it turned out that Michał Doleżal will be able to count only on ten jumpers. – Dawid Kubacki and Paweł Wąsek have tested positive for Covid-19 and will not take part in the World Cup competition in Zakopane. This weekend, 10 representatives of Poland will compete at Wielka Krokiew – we read in the announcement of the Polish Ski Association.
New information on the coronavirus in the Polish staff
As it turns out, this is not the end of bad news about the Polish team. According to the information that we have confirmed in PZN, Kubacki and Wąsek will not be able to compete in the next World Cup competition, in the German Titisee-Neustadt. All because of changes in the FIS regulations, which impose a 10-day isolation, without the possibility of shortening it.
The Polish Ski Association does not intend to appoint anyone in the place of Dawid Kubacki and Paweł Wąsk, and this raises another problem. , in Saturday’s team competition there will not be three players who were almost sure of their place in the squad. Thus, Piotr Żyła will be the team leader. However, it is not known who will be in the lineup with him. Friday jumps during training and qualifying will decide about it.
Moreover, the result of Jakub Wolny’s test was inconclusive, although it gave a negative result. For this reason, one more test will pass, the result of which should be known on Friday morning.
On the hill them. Stanisław Marusarz, our country will be represented by: Piotr Żyła, Jakub Wolny, Andrzej Stękała, Aleksander Zniszczoł, Maciej Kot, Tomasz Pilch, Klemens Murańka, Kacper Juroszek and Stefan Hula. Qualifiers on Friday 18:00. Official training is scheduled for 3:30 PM.
