Polish jumpers cannot count as successful Saturday’s World Cup competition in Oslo. In the next installment of the Raw Air series, the best of our representatives was the one who took only 11th place.
Two Poles on the podium in Lahti. Thomas Lackner out of reach

As many as two of them were on the podium. he was second and Maciej Kot was third. The Austrian Thomas Lackner, who was beyond the reach of his rivals, triumphed.
Both Poles jumped to the podium thanks to great jumps in the second round. Destroyer in the first attempt reached 123.5 meters, but in the second he managed to jump three meters further. He made even greater progress and improved his result in the first round (121 m) by four meters. Lackner was second to none and made the longest jump in both rounds. First 129.5 meters, then 127 meters. Ultimately, he overtook the second Destroyer by as much as 22.3 points.
