As we read in the press release of the Polish Ski Association, strong wind prevented the jumpers from competing in yesterday's competition.

The Polish Ski Jumping World Cup Tournament ran as planned. However, the competition in Szczyrk could not be held because after exactly 40 jumps in the scoring series, the jury stopped the competition due to unfavorable wind conditions. He was the leader at that moment David Kubacki.

They turned out to be disturbing prognozy regarding weather conditions in Szczyrk. Although the trial series was completed in its entirety with minor breaks, the competition was interrupted every now and then strong wind. The Poles coped very well in the demanding weather conditions. He was at the top of the pack when Wednesday's competition was interrupted David Kubacki, who jumped 98,5 meters.

Both of my jumps were very nice

– I encountered a strong gust from the side of the hill, which hindered me a bit, but in the end I managed to control the situation and even land with a telemark. Both of my jumps were very nice, so the way I'm going is good. I am dissatisfied because I would have achieved the best result of the season with one series, but health is the most important thing - analyzed the best Polish team representative, Dawid Kubacki.

Kubacki was not the only Pole in the top group. 99 m was 3rd. place Kamil Stoch, he was classified in 5th position Piotr Zyla (99 m), and took 9th place Paweł Wasek (95,5 m). Only Aleksander Zniszczol, who achieved 91 m, was 29th.

I wanted to do my own thing

– I didn't feel threatened in such conditions, even though it was a lottery. I wanted to do my job and make the best jump possible. I concentrated and did my job well, he said Kamil Stoch.

My conditions were just fine

– Wind is an additional element that sometimes helps and sometimes hinders. My conditions were just fine. The only drawback is that my legs were a bit "numb" at the top, but I managed to deal with that, emphasized Piotr Żyła.
