Drama for 17-Year-Old Pole! Serious Injury and Long Break Ahead
Originally published in Przegląd Sportowy on December 04, 2024
One of Poland's biggest ski jumping talents, Łukasz Łukaszczyk, has undergone knee surgery that was successful, but he will face a long rehabilitation period. The 17-year-old was a standout at the Youth Olympic Games, where he won a bronze medal, and has made a name for himself on the FIS Cup circuit, but now he must pause his dreams of competing as he recovers. "He will be rehabilitated for the next 3-4 months," stated Alexander Stoeckl.
Fans were left wondering why Łukaszczyk was not listed in the Polish team for recent FIS Cup competitions in Kandersteg, Switzerland. It was later revealed that an injury necessitated his absence and subsequent surgery.
Representing TS Wisła Zakopane, Łukaszczyk also has a bronze medal from the Junior World Championships and recently debuted in the Continental Cup, finishing 29th in Planica. He was ranked 10th at the Polish Championships in October this year. The Polish Ski Federation posted on social media, "Łukasz, we are waiting for you back on the slopes!"
This setback is a blow to a young athlete with a promising future in the sport, and many are looking forward to seeing him return rejuvenated after his rehabilitation.
