ADAM

MAŁYSZ
Adam Małysz (born 3 December
1977) is a Polish ski jumper born
and still living in the town of
Wisła in southern Poland.
In 1998, he achieved his
best result in the team
competition, placing
eighth. In 2002 in Salt
Lake City, Malysz “the
magician” was one of the
favourites. Having won 11
competitions the year
before, he was the World
Cup holder and world
champion on the normal
hill.
Since 1996, Adam
Malysz has won 38
World Cup victories,
making his name at
the world’s greatest
ski jumping
competitions: the
World
Championships four
times, the World
Cup four times and
the Four Hills
tournament in 2001.
What is the reason for
his popularity? One of
them is beyond any
doubt his successful
sports career. However
it seems quite unusual
that his popularity
came with his first
spectacular success. In
2001 he won the Four
Hills tournament – the
most important one in
ski jumping. He was
the first Polish to win
it.
Thanks to his
repeated
achievements,
Adam Malysz turned
ski jumping into a
national sport in his
country. The
jumping
competitions held at
Zakopane attracted
thousands of
spectators, who
came to cheer on
their champion.
