Dawid Kubacki’s trainer is crying. “You guys too?”

bronze medalist at the Beijing 2022 Olympics! Once again: Dawid Kubacki is the bronze medalist of the Olympic Games! Really! In the Great Depression season, the world champion and winner of the 4-Hills-Tournament found his form at the perfect moment.

On the normal hill in Zhangjiakou Kubacki, only Ryoyu Kobayashi and Manuel Fettner were ahead of the competition. It is hard to believe in this great success of Kubacki. And it’s hard to imagine what the people closest to him feel. Zbigniew Klimowski, coach, Kubacki’s tutor is such a person. The man who shaped Kubacki and Kamil Stoch in sports is not ashamed of tears.

Łukasz Jachimiak: Are you crying?

: How can you hear. Such an emotion cannot be overcome! You are also touched, are you?

Of course! And we imagine how happy you must be. You’ve known Dawid Kubacki since he was 5 or 6 years old and he dreamed of becoming a jumper.

– That’s a beautiful thing. I raised him in sports and it cannot be denied that it is difficult for me to talk about all this after such a success. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me, and Dawid Kubacki has tried to do it many times. But it is never enough for me to have such moments as often as possible!

Two more times during these games?

– Hahaha! This is our Polish mentality. We want more immediately!

I imagine that David’s medal and Kamil’s sixth place will make the pressure drop from everyone in the team. At this point, everything that has not been achieved since the beginning of the season is gone, and that was a lot and it was heavy.

– Of course it will come off! There will be more slack, you will jump better immediately. It should only look better and better.

Let’s listen to the David medal. In the second round, he attacked from eighth place. When you jumped 103 meters, did you feel that it was enough to reach the podium?

– Then I told my wife that there would be one tray. And it didn’t matter to me whether Dawid or Kamil won it.

It is very difficult to say that, but maybe it is good that Dawid won the sheet metal? Kamil has already won three Olympic golds individually, and for Dawid it is the first individual medal. I feel what you might be thinking.

– That’s exactly what my wife said. She especially wished Dawid a medal, because Dawid has not had such a medal so far. And he deserves everything too.

You always emphasize that it was not a pure, obvious talent, that as a child he usually lost to his peers, but he stuck to his resolve to be a jumper and won the championship.

– Because David is a model of diligence. He lost many times as a child, and worked for successes in his adult career for many years. This is a great hard worker. He walked slowly but always consistently, always seeing this goal of his. I wish there were more such boys. I work with juniors now, and all the time I show the parents of those teenagers of ours the example of David. I say: “take it easy, your / your son is supposed to jump well as a senior, like Dawid Kubacki”. It works and it will do even better!
