Piotr Żyła’s nightmare! Terrible news from the Four Hills Tournament
On Saturday, Piotr Żyła was the best Pole in qualifying for the competition in Oberstdorf. Unfortunately, on Sunday he had a terrible attempt…
Piotr Żyła jumped only 120.5 meters, losing to Estonian Artii Aigro. Unfortunately, the Pole was very disappointing compared to Saturday’s qualifications, where he jumped on the hill in Oberstdorf, where he jumped 132.5 meters.
The positive news is that Jakub Wolny will appear in the final series. The Pole jumped 121 meters, winning in pair with Antti Aalto. Paweł Wąsek was the best among Poles. The Pole recorded the best jump this season, landing 137 meters. This allows us to look at the final series and the performance of the Polish representative with moderate optimism.
TCS: Paweł Wąsek defended the honor of Poles. Terrible attempt by Piotr Żyła
Aleksander Zniszczoł, previously unmentioned, did not make it to the final round in Sunday’s competition. The leader of the Polish national team from the previous season, currently having the most points in the general World Cup standings among all Poles, lost to Andreas Wellinger. The German was the favorite of this duo, but if the Polish competitor had jumped at the level he was used to, he could even think about success. However, he destroyed the attempt with a distance of 123 meters.
After the first series in Oberstdorf, Stefan Kraft is in the lead. The Austrian jumped 138 meters. Jan Hoerl is in second place, and Pius Paschke, the hosts’ representative, is in third place. At the halfway point, he is in ninth place. In the case of the second Pole in the final series – Jakub Wolny – in the last, thirtieth position among the lucky ones.
It must be admitted that it is quite unusual that in Oberstdorf none of the three will make the second jump: Piotr Żyła (he was eliminated in the first series), Kamil Stoch (resigned from TCS after the recent competition in Engelberg) and Dawid Kubacki (did not make it through Saturday’s qualifications) .
