During the Four Hills Tournament, Kamil Stoch finally got into good shape, thanks to which he can think of higher goals. What has changed in him lately, and what let him down before? The Polish representative dispelled doubts.
The 2021/22 season of Kamil Stocha was a failure. In the next, current, he also did not do well. What bothered him most was the fluctuations in the form, which he could not control. In one weekend he managed to get into the top ten, and the next time he did not qualify for the second round of the competition. So it was in Engelberg or Titisee-Neustadt. However, in the 4-Hills-Tournament, he found the key to proper disposition. What is the difference?
Four Hills Tournament. Kamil Stoch admitted that he regained his form
Stoch himself spoke on this subject in Przegląd Sportowy. “I had a slightly bad attitude because I started focusing on what I couldn’t achieve at the moment, instead of focusing on the road itself and certain tasks that I have to complete,” said our team leader.
True, he did not specify what aspects of jumping he was talking about, although it is clear that the change in approach worked positively. Instead of winding himself up, Stoch approaches each attempt differently. “I have revised my approach. I am happy with the little things, with every jump, with being here and jumping at a high level in top level competitions,” he said.
However, Stoch said that he managed to improve compared to the first part of the season. - In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, my tests went technically well. Also landing, which happened to me infrequently lately. Either all the concentration was gone, or the jumps were not good at first, so I had to fight to the end in the air and the landing suffered, he concluded.
