Brilliant Kacper Tomasiak! 19-year-old makes history
Originally published in Przegląd Sportowy / Onet on February 16, 2026
Nineteen-year-old Kacper Tomasiak stunned the Olympic ski jumping competition by winning three medals at the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Winter Games. According to the report, Tomasiak took silver on the normal hill, bronze on the large hill in Predazzo and then added another silver in the duets (pairs) event together with Paweł Wąsek.
The piece highlights how extraordinary this achievement is: no European athlete as young as Tomasiak has won three Winter Olympic medals at a single Games in the 21st century. Social media and commentators (the article cites an account called AbsurdDB) underlined that the 19‑year‑old is now part of Olympic history.
The story also mentions the financial rewards Tomasiak will receive from the Polish Olympic Committee — reportedly 900,000 PLN in cash and 550,000 PLN in tokens for his three medals — and includes reactions from teammates and figures in Polish ski jumping, including a live quote from Paweł Wąsek. The article situates the success in the context of the Italian Olympic venues (Predazzo and Milano‑Cortina 2026) and links to related coverage about controversies and other Polish jumpers at the Games.
