Welcome to my page about ski jumping.
I have been interested in ski jumping since the 80s. Then I was watching available
events on a black-and-white TV (I have to say this competition was not so popular
in that days and really rarely shown in the Polish TV). In the mid-90s, when the
Internet became more and more popular and we have gained access to international
sports TV in Poland, my passion could finally begin to develop. I began to browse
through the websites and kept track of sports channels to get current and past results
of different races, in the same time cheering for all the players and enjoying the
atmosphere of fair play. During this time, I noticed with regret that data offered
on various websites are incomplete and contain errors (including the official website
of the FIS) and sports commentators often make mistakes about statistics, history
of ski jumping or the rules of this beautiful sport. This motivated me to start
working on a possibly fullest ski jumping database. Normal household hobby began
to grow. I was able to establish contacts with professionals and people passionate
about ski jumping across Europe. I traveled around Poland and Europe with my children
to meet with people like me who are love ski jumping. I got in touch by e-mail with
people from all over the world to get more and more results. I hope that this years
of my work can help to protect the memory of the first ski jumping competitions,
struggles conducted by known and lesser-known from loss and being forgotten. Today,
on behalf of this site, I would like to introduce you to the results of the most
important international competitions such as:
I would like to emphasize that to my knowledge this website is the only one on which
made available the complete results of the competitions in this time period (starting
from the beginning of the tournament or classification to its end or to present
times). In addition in my private archives I have results of other national competitions
(national and local starting from the 20s of the last century) and international
(including women).
I hope to continue this work on digitizing my archives and expand them to create
the widest possible ski jumping database.

Notes: The site uses English spelling of the names of the players. At the moment
I put only part of my results (the others will be made available successively).
