Shocking news from Poland regarding Ski Jumping and Alexander Stoeckl's remarks
Originally published in Przegląd Sportowy on January 02, 2025
In this season, Polish ski jumpers have disappointed fans, as also demonstrated in the ongoing Four Hills Tournament. The only notable results have come from Paweł Wąsek, who achieved 16th and 10th places, while the rest of the team struggled. There are increasing rumors about misunderstandings within the Polish team, which have caught the interest of Norwegian media.
Despite a poor performance from the Norwegians in the tournament, they highlight that the situation in the Polish camp appears even worse. The headline in the newspaper "Dagbladet" reads, "Shocking news from Poland."
This sensational headline ties into comments circulating in Polish media suggesting that Thomas Thurnbichler should step down as coach, with Stoeckl's name being considered to take over. Stoeckl was asked by "Dagbladet" how the turmoil surrounding the Polish team affects him and his staff.
"It’s exhausting. And it doesn’t make our performances any easier," Stoeckl responded.
"Luckily, we have Paweł Wąsek, who is jumping well. However, we lack continuity, and there's a generational gap. We have some young jumpers, but they are not yet at the forefront. The older generation is having difficulty maintaining their previous level, making everything harder," he added.
