As the ski jumping season comes to a close, Kamil Stoch, the three-time Olympic champion, has been facing a tough time. Despite his best efforts, he has not been able to secure a spot in the top 10 of the World Cup standings this season. His decision to work with his own coach, Michal Dolezal, has not yielded the desired results, and he has been struggling to find his form.
However, Stoch is not one to give up easily. In a recent interview with skijumping.pl, he expressed his determination to continue competing and to make a comeback in the upcoming season. „I’ll live, I’ll see. I’ll do what I can. I have one more season planned, another season. I’ll try to prepare myself as best as I can, jump as best as I can. And we’ll see what happens,” he said.
Stoch’s passion for ski jumping is still burning bright, and he is eager to prove himself once again. Despite being 38 years old, an age considered old for a ski jumper, he is still hungry for success and is not ready to hang up his boots just yet.
In fact, Stoch has already set his sights on the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The Olympic Games will be a special occasion for him, as he won his first major medals at the World Championships in Predazzo, Italy, in 2013. „It would be a great way to end my career, to compete at the Olympics in the same place where I won my first medals,” he said.
Stoch’s current ranking of 32nd in the World Cup standings may not be his best, but he is still determined to make a comeback. He has been working hard to improve his technique and is confident that he can still compete with the best.
In fact, Stoch’s recent results have been encouraging, with three top-20 finishes in his last five competitions. He is still one of the most experienced and skilled ski jumpers in the world, and his determination and passion for the sport are still unmatched.
As the ski jumping world looks forward to the next season, one thing is certain – Kamil Stoch will be back, and he will be ready to give it his all. With his sights set on the Olympics, he will stop at nothing to prove himself once again as one of the greatest ski jumpers of all time.
