Polish ski jumping Summer Grand Prix

Entities: Piotr Żyła · Anna Twardosz · Wisła Wisła · Maciej Maciusiak · Rozle Zagar

Overview

Poland’s ski‑jumping program entered the 2024 FIS Summer Grand Prix in Wisła with a reshaped coaching structure, appointing Austrian Stefan Horngacher as training coordinator alongside head coach Maciej Maciusiak and equipment specialist Rozle Zagar. The inaugural event on 1 August 2024 featured twelve Polish athletes; veteran Piotr Żyła praised Horngacher’s unconventional drills, while Anna Twardosz placed eleventh in the women’s competition. The Grand Prix returned on 1 August 2026, again on the Adam Małysz hill. Japanese jumper Naoki Nakamura won the men’s competition with jumps of 129 m and 135 m, and Slovenia’s Ema Klinec repeated her victory in the women’s event. Poland’s Kacper Tomasiak improved to seventh overall, and the team included German nominee Kim Amy Duschek for the first two women’s contests. Horngacher remained the training coordinator and Zagar continued as equipment specialist. In the Nations Cup standings Austria led, followed by Japan, Switzerland and Poland. The opening of the 2026/27 season on 31 July 2026 saw the same Adam Małysz hill host the inaugural Summer Grand Prix of the new campaign. Nakamura again topped the men’s field, followed by Austria’s Marco Woergoetter and Switzerland’s Gregor Deschwanden. Tomasiak was the highest‑placed Pole, finishing seventh, while Piotr Żyła failed to advance past the first round. On the women’s side, Klinec secured a second consecutive win, with Norway’s Silje Opseth and France’s Josephine Pagnier completing the podium. German skier Kim Amy Duschek represented Germany in the opening events. Unusually high temperatures and strong winds affected jump lengths, and Norway’s Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal was disqualified after a safety‑band malfunction. Horngacher’s return as training‑system coordinator was highlighted by the team as a boost to preparation for the upcoming winter season.
