Poland's Adam Malysz Keeps Polish Hopes High As He Wins Again

Classified Polnews

Warsaw, Poland 18 March, 2007 Poland's Adam Malysz showed his brilliance when, in very difficult wind conditions, he engineered a 131 meter jump in the first series at Oslo. In the second series the Polish jumper flew 122 meters and took the leading position in the Ski Jumping World Cup competition.

Wind conditions deteriorated for the last jumpers in the first series. Those who faced the winds immediately before and after Malysz were generally unable to handle them and ended up with short jumps.

But an experienced, well trained and talented Adam Malysz worked the winds and impressed everyone with his 131 meter distance.

His form is superb and it is obvious when one watches him. You cannot help but notice it. It affects everyone. As he launched his flight the Polish TV announcer even started excitedly bubbling about his form and that it was a good jump.

The former leader, Andrea Jacobsen, has been plagued with a bad knee but, being the excellent competitor that he is, it did not stop him from jumping. After finishing in 14 th place, he did not blame his knee and he did not blame the wind. He said his form was (expletive deleted.) He knows what he has to do and he intends to do it.

It had been predicted, back when Malysz was fourth in the standings, that Malysz would hold his form and those ahead of him would likely not.

Malysz won the World Cup in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

There is more to come.
