Major Issues During the World Cup in Ruka, Great Prognosis for Poles

Organizers faced considerable problems at the World Cup in Ruka from the outset. Wind interruptions led to only one of the two planned training sessions being held. During the initial training session, conditions fluctuated significantly, causing numerous breaks.

Despite these setbacks, Polish ski jumper Aleksander Zniszczoł made a notable impact with a remarkable jump of 141.5 meters, despite having favorable wind conditions. He secured the tenth position, signaling a potentially strong performance for the Polish team in the upcoming events.

The event's schedule was heavily reliant on the weather, with earlier forecasts indicating promising conditions for the upcoming competition after a rough start.

Polish jumpers’ results during the training: - Aleksander Zniszczoł - 10th place - Paweł Wąsek - 23rd - Kamil Stoch - 29th - Dawid Kubacki - 31st - Jakub Wolny - 47th

The qualification rounds and the competition were set to follow later in the day, hoping that conditions would improve by then.
