Husky Ski Jumpers Jack Kroll ’26 and Henry Loher ’26 are representing the US this weekend in Zakopane, Poland, at the final FIS Cup of the season.
The pair have been training in Norway since the Junior World Championships concluded on March 8 and are preparing for a major transition in their careers. Both athletes plan to move to Lillehammer, Norway, next year to continue their ski jumping development.
“This was a great opportunity to work with the coaches we will have next year and get a feel for the town and the teammates we will have,” Kroll said.
While in Norway, Kroll and Loher also had the chance to attend Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined World Cup competitions in Oslo.
“It was an amazing experience to watch the best ski jumpers in the world at the biggest and most famous competition in the world,” Loher said.
Kroll and Loher are set to compete in Zakopane on Saturday and Sunday. The FIS Cup represents the first of three levels of international ski jumping competition, and athletes must finish in the top 30 to earn points and advance to the Continental Cup level.
“Hopefully, we can score points (top 30) so next season we can jump on the COC. This is my third FIS Cup, and currently my best result is 57th, but I’m hoping for some better results this time,” Kroll said.
All competitions will be live-streamed on Polish television, with live results also available through the FIS app.
