Two competitions and such payouts. This is how much the World Cup leader earned. Considerable amount
Originally published in Przegląd Sportowy on November 24, 2024
The first weekend of the World Cup this season has concluded, but unfortunately, Polish ski jumpers performed as a backdrop to their better competitors. This is reflected in the current standings where Poland sits at the sixth position with a modest total of 98 points.
In Lillehammer, Paweł Wąsek stood out among the Polish athletes, performing well, especially on Saturday. A successful jump in the second round allowed him to rise to 14th place. However, his performance declined on Sunday, landing him at 23rd place.
From the Polish team, Wąsek had the highest earnings this weekend, making CHF 3,850 (approximately PLN 18,000). Notably, seasoned jumpers Karl Geiger and Timi Zajc also earned the same amount in Norway.
Aleksander Zniszczoł earned CHF 2,750 (about PLN 13,000). In stark contrast, Dawid Kubacki only managed to earn CHF 800, while Kamil Stoch earned CHF 600. Maciej Kot, unfortunately, did not score any points and thus did not earn any cash.
The highest earner of the weekend, mirroring his title as leader of the World Cup, was Pius Paschke from Germany who earned CHF 30,500 this weekend.
