I just can't understand, what has happened to Poland. Everyone seems so off from the previous years. Even an all time great like Stoch is not like himself.

Not previous years. Literally last year. Stoch won the Four Hills, Kubacki was third, Zyla and Stekala were also in top 6. Insane.

The popular theory is that Michal Dolezal did something different to Horngacher and completely destroyed the jumpers' technique. Possibly too much gym before the season. It doesn't help our core is the oldest on tour, Stoch turns 35yo in May, Zyla 35yo in two weeks and Kubacki 32 in March.

That would explain a bit of a decline, but it's like someone pushed the entire team straight off a cliff this season...

 

But yeah, massive technique issues is what I've heard both Dutch and German commentators say as well..

Kubacki going back to his old habit of an extremely high take off and dropping like a sack of potatoes clearly indicates it's a technique issue. The thing snowballed from there. After the Oberstdorf failure Dolezal blamed Stoch's result on the new boots he was using, they got back to the old ones in GaPa and Innsbruck and it only got worse. It's clear Dolezal has no idea what he did wrong in the pre-season and with four weeks until WOG shit will hit the fan very soon.

 

Zyla is basically a lost cause, he usually does his own thing, only when Horngacher threatened to kick him out of the team if he didn't ditch the awkward in-run position he finally came around. Dolezal doesn't have such authority whatsoever.

Also worth noting: the women are currently looking like they will miss the Olympics entirely. Their first athlete is currently ninth(!) on the reserve list. The American men will qualify two or three jumpers, meanwhile.
