Kacper Tomasiak’s big advantage — coaches’ stories confirmed in Predazzo

Kacper Tomasiak claimed the bronze medal on the large hill in Predazzo at the Olympic Games, reaching the podium less than three weeks after his 19th birthday. The result places him among Poland’s notable early achievers in ski jumping — by comparison, Kamil Stoch won his first Olympic medals at 26 and Adam Małysz at 24, while Wojciech Fortuna became Olympic champion at 19.5 years old.

Coaches and observers have been spotting Tomasiak’s potential for a long time. His first coach, Jarosław Konior from LKS Klimczok (the club in Bystra where Wojciech Tomasiak brought his son ten years ago), recalled that Tomasiak won his first-ever competition and then regularly stood out in all the youth categories that followed. Those early impressions have now been underlined by his Olympic success in Predazzo.
