Poland’s Kacper Tomasiak has claimed a surprise silver medal in ski jumping at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on his first Games appearance.

The four beat out a field including defending champion Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan, the reigning world champion Marius Lindvik of Norway, two-time Olympic gold medalist Andreas Wellinger and Kamil Stoch, Poland’s most successful ski jumper who owns three Olympic gold medals.

Poland comes to the Winter Olympics with a strong representation in speed skating while also having potential competitors in snowboarding, skiing and figure skating.

Philipp Raimund showed nerves like steel to claim a stunning normal hill ski jumping Olympic gold for Germany while Slovenian World Cup dominator Domen Prevc missed the medals. Raimund is yet to win a World Cup competition but he led the first round with 102 metres and then added 106.

Americans Erin Jackson and Brittany Bowe missed out on medals in the women’s 1,000-meter speedskating final.

Polish snowboarder Aleksandra Król-Walas finished seventh in the women’s parallel giant slalom on Sunday, missing out on a medal in one of Poland’s key medal hopes at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
