Adam Małysz (born December 3, Polishski jumper. He was born and still lives in a town of Wisła in the southern Poland.
His career began in 1995. For two consecutive seasons, he was moderately successful in the Ski Jump World Cup (7th and 10th in the overall standings respectively). He re-emerged in the 2000/2001 season when he won the Vier Schanzen Tournee and the World Championship on K90 (being second on K120). 2002 saw Małysz claim a silver on K120 and bronze on K90 at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games. In 2003 he won both World Championship Titles and added another Ski Jumping World Cup (his third).
His success contributed to his enormous popularity not only among ski jumping fans but throughout Poland as well.
Malysz (pronounced Mol-ish) might have given the pope a run for his money had he earned gold in the 90-meter jump.
Malysz sailed through the crystal-blue sky that enveloped the Wasatch mountains, his skis in a perfect V. Ninety-eight and a half meters later, Malysz had the day's second-best jump.
Malysz is one of them, they say, a common man, a hard-working man, who can do uncommon things.
