Kamil Stoch Stands in Front of the Camera and Says: "I Felt a Crack in My Back"

Kamil Stoch appeared on Eurosport stating, "There isn’t much to celebrate, but it’s a step forward and I think we need to look for positives instead of constantly beating ourselves up." On Sunday in Lillehammer, Stoch secured his first points of the season, which will be significant for his next competition.

At the Lillehammer competition, he finished in 28th place. While not a dream position for a three-time Olympic champion, Stoch considers it progress, especially since he didn’t qualify for the second round the day before.

"I’m okay. We’re not celebrating too much, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. I mentioned on Friday that I would feel better every day and be more relaxed with each jump. And that’s exactly how it was. My last jump felt the most comfortable of them all, but we are always working on something. We are evaluating where the mistakes are and trying to correct them," he added.

Stoch noted that the points he earned in Lillehammer will be crucial for his next appearance in Ruka. "The first jump was delayed to the point where I felt a crack in my back. I also approached too passively afterward. For the next competition, I can go with more backup. I have points in the overall classification, and I won’t start at the very beginning, but rather further down the list. It’s always a plus, quoting the classics," he stated.
