Kamil Stoch was the first Pole to present himself. Our champion won on the giant hill in Oberstdorf in 2019.

When it came to his Saturday test, the wind became very unfavorable and the jumper from Ząb had to wait. This did not affect Stoch’s jump, which scored 215.5 meters in great style. He was clearly pleased with his attempt. At the end he was 14th.
