Paweł Wąsek Messed Up His Jump in Oberstdorf! A Drama for the Leader [VIDEO]

In a dramatic turn of events, Paweł Wąsek, the leader of the Polish ski jumping team, fell short in the first round of the competition at the Heini-Klopfer Ski Flying Hill in Oberstdorf, achieving a mere 179 meters and finishing in 35th place, which meant he did not advance to the final round.

Earlier in the trial series, Wąsek had already struggled, managing only 185.5 meters which placed him 29th. His attempts in Oberstdorf have raised concerns about his ability to perform on such large hills.

As reported by Eurosport, Wąsek's performance was a disappointment, as he failed to qualify, marking a significant setback for the skater in this season's competition.

Both Wąsek and fellow Polish jumper Kamil Stoch did not make it to the second series, although other teammates including Aleksander Zniszczoł and Jakub Wolny are set to compete in upcoming jumps.
