Ski jumping icon back
“Pleasure”: Adam Malysz dares one more jump
Polish ski jumping legend Adam Malysz has taken to the hill once again and dared to jump. However, he doesn't want to join the ranks of prominent winter sports returnees, but rather promote a young talent project.
Malysz ended his ski jumping career in 2011 and announced that he would never return to a ski jump. 13 years later, he has now broken this resolution. But not to return to the World Cup.
The 46-year-old is very happy in his role as a sports official in his home country of Poland and is not thinking of entering into a "dinosaur competition" with his former rivals Simon Ammann and Noriaki Kasai.
That's why he "broke his promise"
And yet the ski jumping icon stood at a ski jump table once again. He wanted to personally test a mobile jumping facility. The aim is to promote young ski jumpers in Poland more effectively.
"I've already been there a few times and this project is my baby, so to speak, so I can't imagine not jumping on it. I won't miss out on the pleasure of testing the facility," Malysz told "sport.pl", explaining why he had to break his promise from 2011 for one day after all. It wasn't a really "big jump" in the end, but the facility could be an important springboard for the next generation.
