POLAND: The FIS World Ski Jumping Cup in Zakopane


Joanna Mika-Hadelka 2008-02-05


Zakopane, a mountain resort in the Tatra Mountains was very crowded at the end of January 25-26. It wasn’t only because of its exceptional character and splendid natural scenery but also because of the FIS World Ski Jumping Cup which is held here every year.



It attracts a lot of tourists from different parts of the world. Polish supporters arrive in Zakopane to meet Adam Malysz, better known as 'The Flying Moustache' or 'The Polish Batman'.


This year in Zakopane we could also host a ski jump team from Japan.


When the happening ends they go to warm up in traditional mountaineers’ restaurants or have fun on the sleigh cavalcade.
