Actually there was only one Polish jumper on this youTube video (Tomasz Pochwała). The other like Michal Doleżal, Jan Mazoch, Valery Kobelev are all Czech or Russian :).

- See, they all sound the same to my non-western ears. Thanks for the correction. Al, few seconds later
- Tip: If there is a v letter in name or surname it's obviously not Polish. And on the other hand if there is "ł" letter in name or surname it's obviously Polish :).

- I never knew that, about the V, thanks. Is there no V in the language? And a question, are most "ski" names Polish (Adamski, Burkowski, etc.) Al, few seconds later

We use "W" which we pronounce similarly to "V" but we never write "v", there is no "v" in alphabet. Instead of your "w" like in we or water or wax, we use ł letter but it's not exactly the same sound. And yes, -ski suffix is Slavic. Most common in Poland but can be found also in Ukraine, Slovakia and, what's a bit weid, in Macedonia. Sir Ptok-BentonicznyPisz tutaj • KUN 19:26, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
