2017/2018

edit

The summer season was very successful for him. He won 5 of 9 competitions: in Wisła, Hinterzarten, Courchevel, Hinzenbach and Klingenthal. He won all the competitions in which he took off because he missed four competitions in Japan Hakuba and Russia Chaykovsky. He repeated the feat of Takanobu Okabe from 1994 (1st edition).

In addition, Poland triumphed in Nations Cup classification.

Kubacki achieved good results since the very start of the winter season after winning the overall classification of the Summer Grand Prix. On 30 December 2017, Kubacki reached the lowest level of the podium in Oberstdorf, behind the winner Kamil Stoch. He waited for 143 competitions for his first individual podium.[11] He had a chance to reach overall podium of 2017-18 Four Hills Tournament, but he lost his chance in the last jump in Bischofshofen and in the final summary he took 6th place, which was his best result in Four Hills tournament in career. On 21 January 2018 Polish national team in squad: Stoch, Hula, Kubacki, and Żyła, won the first ever medal, a bronze, for Poland in ski flying in team competition.[12][13] On the same day, coach Horngacher officially appointed him to 2018 Winter Olympics.[14] Once again, Kubacki took the third place in the competition, this time in Willingen.[15]
