Thomas Turnbichler spent his first season as coach of Polish ski jumpers. In a recent interview, he was asked about the future of Kamil Stoch. His words are encouraging
Today, Sunday, April 2, the final of the 2022/23 World Cup took place. Halvor Egner Granerud received the Crystal Globe, while Stefan Kraft and Anze Lanisek received silver and bronze medals for second and third places respectively. Right behind the podium was David Kubacki, who probably would have kept his place in the top three if he had not had to withdraw from further competition. Kamil Stoch has had a crazy season behind him that will not be considered the best of his career. Many are wondering about his future. Thomas Turnbichler provided guidance.
Thomas Turnbichler on the future of Kamil Stoch
The Austrian coach gave an interview to Onet Sports Review, during which he noted that Kamil Stoch is used to being at the forefront of the best jumpers, and when fighting for a return to success, plans often go in the opposite direction. In addition, Thomas Turnbichler, when asked about the future of the three-time Olympic champion, replied that he would also compete next season, and the coaching staff would probably approach the player individually and set specific tasks for him.
- It’s nice to hear that Camille wants to continue his career. He told me this. Perhaps next season we will have to set goals a little differently and adapt his preparation, the season to the goals that he sets for himself. We have already discussed this, but now is not the time to talk about it. He has learned from this season and so have I. It was my first year of working with this wonderful athlete. Of course, I know what needs to be done to make the next one better,” said the Austrian.
The coach of the Polish jumpers praised the cooperation with Kamil Stoch
Thomas Turnbichler is one of the main contributors to a very good ski jumping season in Poland. The Austrian really appreciated the fact that he also had to work with Kamil Stoch, who achieved almost everything possible in his career.
“This was my first year working with this amazing athlete. Of course, I know what to do to make the next one better (…) In the meantime, everything is going in the direction that there is another season ahead. I saw motivation in him.
