PZN launches new Nordic Combined development team

The Polish Ski Association is stepping it up when it comes to the development and promotion of Nordic Winter sports talents, especially in Nordic Combined.

About half a year after the Tatra Ski Association formed a three-athlete junior Nordic Combined team with newly retired athlete Tomasz Pochwala as a coach and a similar request from the S'la;sko-Beskidzki Ski Association with another three young Nordic Combined skiers and Tomislav Tajner as responsible coach, the Polish Ski Association successfully processed a request for more funding with the national Physical Culture Development Fund.

From the 1st January of 2014, the PZN now plans to establish a six-athlete Nordic Combined team with both Pochwala and Tajner as full time coaches. The group consisting of Krystian Gryczuk, Jan Lowisz, Michal Pytel, Pawel Twardosz, Jakub Jurosz and Dawid Osinski will have their own budget.

It will also be the coaches' job to attract new talents to the sport of Nordic Combined. "Pochwala and Tajner will also be looking at the National Programme for the Development of Ski Jumping and go in search for Lotos Cup athletes who do not only jump well but also like to ski. They will be encouraged to start with regular Nordic Combined training. The Polish Ski Association wants to increase the work with this younger group of athletes. The goal definitely is the development of Nordic Combined in Poland", PZN President Apollonius Tajner explains.
