The best contestant of the weekend (31st July – 1st August 2015) was definitely Dawid Kubacki who achieved the first historic victory in his career in the FIS Grand Prix in Wisła. Polish ski jumpers first won team competition and then gained victory in the individual competition, thereby starting the summer season with flying colours.

On Friday, in the first team competition, Polish ski jumpers performed brilliantly. Our representation consisting of Maciej Kot, Piotr Żyła, Dawid Kubacki and Kamil Stoch demonstrated their power by winning the competition. The second place was taken by the Germans, while the third place went to Norway. 

In the second, Saturday individual competition Poles once more set the bar high. Dawid Kubacki jumped 130 metres, thereby taking the lead in the table. The second jump of the 25-year-old sportsman measured 133 metres thanks to which he sealed his first victory in the career in the FIS Grand Prix. The second place on the podium took another Polish representative – Piotr Żyła. Third place was won by a Norwegian ski jumper – Kenneth Gangnes.

“I thought that I could stand on the podium. For quite some time I have been jumping really good here, in Wisła; the level of ski jumping competition was high and I admit that silently I was counting that I could fight for the podium and I made it. I took the second place and I am extremely happy,” said Piotr Żyła.

Lest we forget that Grupa Azoty strengthened the co-operation with the Polish Ski Federation. Grupa Azoty renewed the endorsement agreement with the Polish Ski Jumpers Representation for the next three years and became the Strategic Partner of Polish Cross-Country Skiing as well as the Main Partner of Polish Cross-Country Runners Representation.
