Poland have won today the gold medal at the #JSWC in Val di Fiemme, after the gold from Jakub Wolny yesterday the polish team continue to give prove of their good feeling with the Predazzo hills. Considering also today's victory in the World Cup for Kamil Stoch in Willingen, today it was another really good day for the Polish ski jumping movement. Poland have close the day with a final score of 1.027 pts, runner up and silver medal was Austria with a score of 1022.4 pts, third place and bronze medal for Norway 1011.4 pts. A good performance also for the home nation Italy which have ended at the 8thplace with a 922.6 pts scored! What can we say about Poland that we haven’t already said? The polish movement has probably never been as much prolific as it is at this current time. These are all very young talented athletes, which have already had their starts in the World Cup scene as well, as Krzysztof Biegun, Aleksander Zniszczol , and Klemens Muranka. Is not anymore one man team thing, Lukasz Kruczek has now more than a man to build a team around and he is doing it just fine. To see Adam Malysz in Val di Fiemme along with this young kids has also gave prove of how much close the polish movement it is and much they trust their future ski jumpers. We can only congratulate and maybe hoping to see Predazzo hosting also some World Cup events in the near future not “just” World Championships events every 10 years. Here some quotes from today: “Yesterday, I already said that we have a very strong team and today we win. This is a very good day for our team. My two jumps were good but not perfect but in general, I am very satisfied" have said Jakub Wolny. "Today was just an unbelievable day. I think we all showed our best jumps, everybody is very satisfied. Everything went so well for us, it was crazy. The service guys have done a great job. This is like a dream. A silver medal is amazing and myself and the whole team, we are so happy" Elias Tollinger." "Our medal was extremely funny to get! We have a Mats Berggaard who is doing an extremely good job and I am very happy with him!" have said Johann Andre Forfang.
