Polish jumpers have the worst season in years and this rating was not changed even by Dawid Kubacki’s bronze medal at the Olympics in Beijing. Therefore, the Polish Ski Association is seriously considering saying goodbye. Names of potential candidates to replace the Czech coach have already appeared in the media.
Adam Małysz about Kojonkoski: One of the best trainers in the world. He has even worked miracles in many countries
. When it comes to foreign coaches, the most talked about is Fin Mika Kojonkoski, who is chairman of the FIS ski jumping committee, previously worked with Chinese jumpers. As he himself revealed, he wants to return to work as a coach. The 59-year-old created the power of Finnish ski jumping at the beginning of the 21st century.
Rumors about this candidacy may magnify the words of Adam Maysz. – He is one of the best coaches in the world. He has even worked miracles in many countries. I have contact with him, sometimes I meet him during competitions or at a congress. I have spoken to him several times. He is a very intelligent man, he has two faculties. He knows what he is doing and what ski jumping is about. I compare him to the coach who has always been and will always be in my heart – Hannu Lepistoe. He is an amazing trainer and man. But I must admit, Mika, among the coaches in the world, is a professor – said the director of the staff.
The PZN director also praises the Polish coach. Maciusiak as Doleżal’s successor?
Another option may be to bet on a Polish trainer, i.e. a member of the Polish team. It is known for a long time, however, that the young coach does not get along with Doleżal. Both disagreed, for example, on the question of whether Polish jumpers should be withdrawn from the World Cup competition before the Olympic Games. Maciusiak believed that it was the best idea to save the situation.
Malysz also has a very good opinion about him. – Maciej Maciusiak is a talent. To lead the staff, you need to have craftsmanship, profession, experience and the ability to lead a group. In addition, you should react to all variables during the season. I think that Maciusiak has most of these advantages, judging by how many players he was able to lead out of the hole – he said. Such warm words about Michał Doleżal could not be heard from his lips.
Adam Małysz’s words can be interpreted in various ways. The decision about the future of Michal Doleżal will be made after the season. The jumpers will return to starts in the coming weekend. On Friday, February 25, the first of the three competitions on the hill in Lahti will take place.
