Paweł Wąsek: Leader Among Polish Ski Jumpers Not Only on the Hill! This Amount is Impressive

Over an amazing weekend in Lake Placid, Polish ski jumper Paweł Wąsek not only delivered impressive results on the hill but also demonstrated his prowess off it by significantly boosting his earnings. On Saturday he broke the 50,000 Swiss franc barrier, and on Sunday added another 2,900 francs (about 12,900 PLN), bringing his total prize money to 53,950 francs (roughly 240,100 PLN).

The article compares his financial achievements to those of his fellow Polish ski jumpers. While Jakub Wolny earned 2,100 francs and remains 35th in the ranking, Aleksander Zniszczoł increased his total to 27,800 francs and Piotr Żyła to 9,000 francs. Dawid Kubacki, who collected 500 francs on Sunday (with a season total of 14,600 francs), is also mentioned. However, the clear standout in the earnings ranking is the Austrian Daniel Tschofenig, whose winning performance considerably outstrips the Polish totals.

Looking ahead, the article notes that among the Polish contingent, only Paweł Wąsek will have the opportunity to further increase his earnings in the next World Cup event in Sapporo. He will join teammates Kamil Stoch, Maciej Kot, and Kacper Juroszek in the competition, setting the stage for further exciting developments in international ski jumping.
