I don’t know what to say. Thank you everyone for making this season as amazing as it has been. I had so much fun with you all.

Aaaand … thank you Peter. For everything. I will miss you. And what great weeks you had since the announcement. I hope you come back to Skijumping one day.

The sad end of season 2022/2023 for Kubacki

in life, there are important things like sport or career... and there are those which are undeniably most important, like family.

from the moment I heard Kubacki withdrew from the last competition in this year’s RawAir, I knew it was about something of grave importance. he didn’t give up when injured or sick, so it had to be serious.

Dawid Kubacki’s wife is in critical condition in a hospital, due to cardiological issues. regardless of whether you like him or not, please, keep your fingers crossed for her recovery. 

Dawid, we love you and we are with you. 

and ofc world class comments from Granerud and Kraft (both refused to comment on their inevitable progress in general standing due to Dawid’s sudden departude, unexplained as of yesterday).

also, big massive FUCK YOU to all the dimwits who thought Dawid ran away because he’s a coward. please, delete your SM accounts immediately

"Stephan Wellinger" - JERNEJ fucking DAMJAN

[giraffenbichler]

In the middle of last season I started dealing intensively with the coaches. Since then I have been constantly following this subtopic of ski jumping and dealing with both the media view and that of the associations and fans. Since summer or about a week there have been discussions about two coaches I deal more or less a lot with. On the one hand, the view of Thomas’s work and on the other hand, the upcoming internal team discussion about Alex.

And I would lie if I said that it doesn’t make me a little sad.

Even if the terms of office of both coaches represent absolute opposites in their duration, there are discernable parallels at its core regarding the current problem. With Thomas and the Polish team it is the case that after a successful season the current one is extremely mixed and fans insult him in the worst way on social media that it even goes so far that some have wished him death... I wonder: Where has the understanding of some fans gone? What right do those people take to call themselves „fans“ when they kill a person like that? What right do some people take to make sympathy dependent on success? And last but not least whether these people are following the situation of the team at all. What can Thomas do for Dawid’s situation? What can Thomas do for the fact that the boys got sick at the beginning of the season? What can Thomas do for Kamil possibly putting too much pressure on himself? And just as exciting and at the same time somewhat frightening that athletes and coaches are played against each other by fans and parts of the press, although, for example, possibilities for improvement were suggested by the athletes in interviews and were directly addressed, analysed and reflected in the next interview. After all, it is not the case that even the Polish association has criticised this. This was answered directly. And it’s not like a coach can’t be a panacea that makes all problems disappear forever. No team manages to keep the shape every season. For example, if you look at Team Germany, it becomes clear. While the last season was mixed, this year’s is going much better. Without changing the coach.

The same applies to Norway. Highs and lows were overcome together. Meanwhile thirteen years with the same coach. And suddenly he is doubted, but out of the team. Here you do not know the arguments and backgrounds or even less. But why should you simply replace a coach who has accompanied the team through a wide variety of phases for so long? Apart from the fact that Alex should hardly have earned it. Why don’t you discuss objectively and constructively in the presence of all those involved and everyone speaks respectfully? In Poland it seems to work out and I want the same for Norway. No coach who has achieved so much deserves such an unpleasant departure. If he deserves a departure at all.

The same applies to Thomas by the way. As a young coach he has already had several titles and other successes in his first season, is extremely reflected and has a clear vision of how Polish ski jumping should continue in the next few years.

Instead of directly denouncing the coaches both externally and internally in one case, insulting them and, if necessary, even playing them externally against their athletes, you should simply let them do their job and, as someone who is not a sports scientist, psychologist or other, stop tearing your mouth open and judging their work.
