Poles Far in the Nations Cup

Andreas Wellinger won the single-series competition in Ruka. Strong wind gusts prevented the finals from being held. The best of the Poles, Dawid Kubacki, finished tenth. Kamil Stoch and Paweł Wąsek also scored points, significantly increasing the Polish team's tally in the Nations Cup standings.
