Ski jumping as highlight of the European Games 2023

There were a total of 5 medal decisions for the ski jumpers at the European Games in Krakow / Zakopane.

European Games: 254 decisions in 29 sports, athletes from 48 nations, 6857 athletes at the start, from 21 June to 2 July 2023. 
These were the third European Games after Baku (AZE) and Minsk (BLR), and ski jumping was included as a discipline for the first time.

Ski jumping was the only classical winter sport on the programme of the European Games 2023, and the ski jumpers did a great job, even developing the discipline into the highlight of the Games in the end. 
6,000 spectators cheered local hero Dawid Kubacki’s victory in the final ski jumping competition on Saturday. Kubacki prevailed on the HS 140-metre hill in Zakopane (1.5 hours’ drive south-west of Krakow) ahead of Austria’s Jan Hörl and Phillip Raimund from Germany.
