Poles Getting Closer to the Top, but Thomas Thurnbichler Has a Dilemma

Pius Paschke continues his winning streak and solidifies his position as the leader of the World Cup, while Polish jumpers are gradually closing in on the top. The competitions in Titisee-Neustadt confirmed the rising form of the Polish jumpers, especially Jakub Wolny and Aleksander Zniszczoł, who made their first entries into the top ten this winter at Hochfirstschanze.

Similarly, Kamil Stoch scored points in both competitions in Germany; however, he ranked in the third ten. After two successful days at Hochfirstschanze, Paweł Wąsek experienced a setback on Sunday. The most concerning issue is the poor form of Dawid Kubacki, who was eliminated in the first round in Germany. It is possible that changes will be made to the team roster before the next World Cup events in Engelberg.
