Biography
Adam Małysz (born December 3, 1977) is a Polish former ski jumper. He is widely considered as one of the greatest ski jumpers of all time, with four Overall World Cup wins (a record shared by late Matti Nykänen), four individual World Ski Championships gold medals, and 39 individual World Cup wins, a Polish record later equalled by fellow countryman Kamil Stoch in 2021. He is also the first Polish ski jumper to win the overall 4 Hills Tournament, which he did in 2000/01 season. The same year, he also became a World Champion in normal hill, and clinched the Overall World Cup crystal globe as the first Polish ski jumper. These achievements contributed to the excessive popularity of ski jumping in Poland since. He retired in March 2011 after achieving a third place in the last competition during the World Cup final in Planica, which fellow countryman Kamil Stoch won. Currently, he is a serviceman for the Polish ski jumping national team, where he still works together with his former teammates.
