Ma³ysz made a mistake? Tajner has no doubts. “I tell him”

Before the last competition in Zakopane as president. Then he will go to Beijing. Despite the terrible attitude of Polish jumpers this season, Tajner believes that he will be able to bring a medal from China.

– I still think that we will have 2-3 medal chances. Paradoxically, a minor injury and early exclusion from the competition may result in a return to high form in the Olympic period. Simon Ammann and Martin Schmitt had a similar situation. Małysz also withdrew twice before important competitions. Normal tactic. Then it’s easier to get back to the top. In the 2021/2022 season, the turbulence is huge – he said in an interview with.

Adam Małysz ended his career too early? “I always tell him that”

Polish jumpers from the Olympic Games brought eight medals. Four gold, three silver and one bronze. The most valuable ones were won by Kamil Stoch. He has thus achieved something that has never been achieved. The legend of Polish jumping won four medals, but no gold. Tajner believes that “Orzeł z Wisły” would have a chance in 2014. Only that he had ended his career three years earlier.

– I think he said “pas” three years too soon. He could continue his career. I always tell him that. Sochi was his hill. Perfect conditions for Małysz. Huge experience could help him win a medal. Who knows or not for the zloty – convinces Apoloniusz Tajner.

Małysz decided to end his career in 2011. Then he took third place in the general classification. He was in a very good shape and paradoxically it was the factor that helped Ma³ysz make such a decision. He repeatedly said that he wanted to end his career when he was in good shape. He did so too, going down in the history of Polish sport.

– If it weren’t for Małyszomania, we wouldn’t be talking now. Perhaps the Middle Krokiew complex would never have appeared. We probably wouldn’t build a facility in Wisła-Malinka and Szczyrk. Perhaps jumping in Poland would “die”, as in Slovakia. However, we are saved by the great traditions associated with this discipline. Małysz owes many generations the opportunity to start – summed up Apoloniusz Tajner.

The Winter Olympics will start on February 4 and will last until February 20. Earlier, the attention of Polish fans will be focused on the competition in Zakopane. There will be a team competition on Saturday, and an individual competition on Sunday. Live coverage in the Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
