Jakub Wolny had a very good jump in the qualifications for the Sunday competition in Titisee-Neustadt, securing the 8th position. He showed his form after having scored points in the World Cup last week in Wisła. Wolny's jump of 133.5 meters under tough conditions demonstrated his confidence as he attempts to build on his recent performance.

Paweł Wąsek also had a solid qualification, landing 1.5 meters shorter at 13th place. However, not all the Polish athletes performed at their best, with Aleksander Zniszczoł and Kamil Stoch also finishing behind Wolny.

Dawid Kubacki's performance remained a cause for concern as he could only achieve a jump of 126 meters, placing him in 39th position.

The qualifications were unexpectedly won by Austrian Michael Hayboeck, with Pius Paschke and Anze Lanisek completing the top three. The individual competition is scheduled to start at 16:00.
