But, the highest value in the market lies with Kubacki as per Raw Air 2020 odds, if he manages to pull off a huge upset.

Dawid Kubacki recently won Four Hills Tournament

The Polish ski jumper is on the rise standing on the podium in every competition this season and winning the prestigious Four Hills Tournament. Previously the 29-year-old had some successes but was hardly seen as the favorite. He joined the national team at the Winter Olympics in 2014. But, he only started topping the chart in 2018 winning 5 of 9 competitions.

Kubacki has a very strong character, as it is hard to see an athlete able to swallow all previous defeats and start leading. Despite that, he is still fifth in the World Cup ranking, he became the Polish team’s new hope. At the Raw Air 2020 odds, Kubacki has a  value of 12.00 to be the outright winner, as per the Unibet Sportsbook.

Ryoyu Kobayashi won Raw Air 2019

The Japanese high-flyer Ryoyu Kobayashi has had a breakout season in 2019. He became the World Cup champion, and he won 13 World Cup events, collecting all top titles.

Karl Geiger won his 1000th ski jumping event

That is probably due to his recent achievement of winning his 1000th ski jumping World Cup of all time in Lahti, Finland. Among his other achievements, he won silver at the 2018 Winter Olympics and won gold at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup Championships 2019. It remains to be seen how far Karl Geiger will go.
