Historic Success for Kacper Tomasiak at the 2026 Olympic Games and Biopic of Małysz

Kacper Tomasiak became the revelation of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, winning three medals: silver on the normal hill, bronze on the large hill, and silver in the team event. In the last of these competitions, he competed alongside Paweł Wąsek. The final of the pairs competition took place in extreme weather conditions during a heavy snowstorm in Predazzo. Although the jury decided to stop the competition after two rounds, initially causing confusion, the final results secured the Poles a place on the podium. This success sparked a wave of enthusiasm, already dubbed 'Tomasiakomania,' and upon returning home, the young jumper was given an ovation in his hometown of Bystra by crowds of fans and Adam Małysz himself. Parallel to the sporting triumphs, Polish cinema is preparing to commemorate the legend of the discipline. Filming for the biographical film titled 'Adam' began on the 25th anniversary of Małysz's victory in the Four Hills Tournament. The title role is played by 25-year-old actor Bartłomiej Deklewa, with Tomasz Kot appearing alongside him. The production will focus on the beginnings of the 'Eagle from Wisła's' career, showing the pressure and hardships of the path to the top at a time when ski jumping was not yet a national sport in Poland. The theatrical release is planned for 2027, with filming taking place in Warsaw, Wisła, and Oberstdorf. Poland's ski jumping tradition dates back to the early 20th century, but it was Adam Małysz's successes at the turn of the century that turned the discipline into a social phenomenon, gathering record-breaking television audiences exceeding 10 million people. Deputy Sports Minister Ireneusz Raś confirmed that for his achievements, Tomasiak will receive lucrative financial awards, though he will have to wait until the age of 40 to receive an Olympic pension. Experts, including psychologist Daria Abramowicz, point to the enormous pressure the young jumper will now have to face. The athlete's popularity is also being utilized in the political and promotional spheres: congratulations from Beata Szydło resonated widely, and mascots shaped like dumplings, called Pieroguszki, became an export hit after being promoted by Polish female Olympians and American rapper Snoop Dogg. 3 — Olympic medals won by 19-year-old Kacper Tomasiak [{"pozycja": 1, "nazwa": "Team event (with Paweł Wąsek)", "info": "Predazzo", "wynik": "Silver"}, {"pozycja": 2, "nazwa": "Normal hill", "info": "Predazzo", "wynik": "Silver"}, {"pozycja": 3, "nazwa": "Large hill", "info": "Predazzo", "wynik": "Bronze"}] Key Dates for Ski Jumping Fans: February 19, 2026 — Champion's welcome in Bystra; 2027 — Theatrical premiere of the film Adam
