Earnings of the Top Polish Ski Jumper in the World Cup: Six Times Less Than the Leader

Daniel Tschofenig not only leads the overall World Cup standings in ski jumping but also tops the salary list. The 22‐year‐old has already earned over 300,000 Swiss francs this season and it appears that his earnings will continue to grow. A significant portion of his income comes from winning the Four Hills Tournament, which awarded him 100,000 Swiss francs.

Among the Polish team, Paweł Wąsek is the highest earner, having accumulated 47,900 Swiss francs – roughly six times less than the Austrian leader. Other Polish jumpers such as Aleksander Zniszczoł (24,450), Dawid Kubacki (12,700), Jakub Wolny (10,900), and Piotr Żyła (7,400) have earned even lower sums.

Additional figures include Jan Hoerl, who earned nearly half as much as Tschofenig with 176,150 Swiss francs, and the German competitor Pius Paschke who racked up 135,200 francs after a tough season in Engelberg. The article, published by the journalists at Przegląd Sportowy Onet, provides insight into not only the performance on the jump but also the financial aspects of competing in the international World Cup circuit.
