Dawid Grzegorz Kubacki (Polish pronunciation: /dawid-kubacki/; born 12 March 1990) is a Polish ski jumper. He is a member of the national team and competed at the Winter Olympics in 2014, 2018 and 2022, winning two bronze medals. He is the 2019 World Champion on the normal hill and winner of the 2019-20 Four Hills Tournament, as well as the 2017 World Champion and bronze medal winner at the 2013 World Championships in the large hill team competitions.

Personal life

Kubacki and Marta Majcher became engaged in August 2018 and were wed in early May 2019.[1] They have two daughters, Zuzanna (born 29 December 2020)[2] and Maja (born 6 January 2023).[3]

Career

On 25 September 2005, he debuted in the FIS Cup competition in Bischofshofen. On 14 January 2006, he scored his first points in the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, taking 22nd place in the competition in Harrachov. On 18 March 2007, for the first time, he took part in the Continental Cup. He was 26th in the competition in Zakopane.

2012/2013

In individual competitions at FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2013 took 31st place on the normal hill and 20th on the large hill. On 2 March 2013, he won a bronze medal in the team competition with his teammates Kamil Stoch, Maciej Kot, and Piotr Żyła.[4] Kubacki jumped 126 m and 128 m. His team originally took fourth place, but after re-counting the scores because of Thomas Morgenstern, who noticed a mistake with the points and at the request of the Germans, they finished in third place (The Norwegian team was originally in front of the Polish team, but Anders Bardal's jump was badly counted).[5]

2014/2015

Kubacki took part in the World Championships 2015 in Falun, Sweden. He was in the competition on the large hill Lugnet (K-120) and qualified to the second round, but he only took 29th place.[6]

2016/2017

On 3 December 2016, the Polish national team, again composed of Żyła, Stoch, Kubacki and Kot won Poland's first ever World Cup team event.[7] In Zakopane, the Polish team, again composed of Stoch, Kubacki, Kot, and Żyła, achieved the second place in the team event. On 28 January 2017 Poland won their second team competition in history in Willingen.[8]

On 4 March 2017, the Polish national team, again composed of Żyła, Kubacki, Kot and Stoch, achieved their first title in the team event at the 2017 World Championships. They beat Norway and Austria at Salpausselkä K116 in Lahti, Finland.[9][10]

2017/2018

The summer season was very successful for him. He won 5 out of 9 competitions: in Wisła, Hinterzarten, Courchevel, Hinzenbach and Klingenthal. He won all the competitions in which he took off because he missed four competitions in Hakuba, Japan, and Chaykovsky, Russia. He repeated the feat of Takanobu Okabe from 1994 (1st edition). On 3 October 2017, he won the overall classification of the 2017 FIS Ski Jumping Grand Prix with 500 points.[11] He maintained the winning streak of Poles in this tournament, repeating the success of Maciej Kot from the previous year. In addition, Poland triumphed in the Nations Cup classification.

Kubacki achieved good results since the very start of the winter season after winning the overall classification of the Summer Grand Prix. On 30 December 2017, Kubacki reached the lowest level of the podium in Oberstdorf, behind the winner Kamil Stoch. He waited for 143 competitions for his first individual podium.[12] He had a chance to reach overall podium of 2017-18 Four Hills Tournament, but he lost his chance in the last jump in Bischofshofen and in the final ranking, he took 6th place, which was his best result in Four Hills tournament in career. On 21 January 2018, the Polish national team, composed of Stoch, Hula, Kubacki, and Żyła, won the first ever medal, a bronze, for Poland in ski flying in team competition.[13][14] On the same day, coach Horngacher officially appointed him to the 2018 Winter Olympics.[15] Once again, Kubacki placed third in the competition, this time in Willingen.[16]

On 19 February 2018, Kubacki and his teammates Maciej Kot, Stefan Hula and Kamil Stoch achieved Poland's first medal in the team event at the Olympics. They claimed a bronze behind Norway and Germany.[17]
