Intense snowfall has severely hampered the training of Polish ski jumpers at Wielka Krokiew. According to Jakub Balcerski from Sport.pl, both Aleksander Zniszczoł and Jakub Wolny fell shortly after landing. Adam Małysz provided an update on the health conditions of both athletes after the incident.

During Friday's training session, fresh snow contributed to poor landing conditions, resulting in falls for Zniszczoł and Wolny. Balcerski reported that Zniszczoł only has bruises, but the situation is more serious for Wolny, who injured his chin. However, both athletes are expected to participate in Saturday's competitions.

The championship for men's ski jumping is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM, with coverage available on the Przegląd Sportowy Onet website.
