Polish Ski Jumper Breaks Silence on Sexuality

Polish ski jumper Andrzej Stekala has publicly come out as gay, revealing his decision after mourning his partner's passing. With a career starting in 2015 and significant achievements in 2020 and 2021, Stekala chose to speak out to live authentically despite Poland's conservative environment.

In a brave revelation, Polish ski jumper Andrzej Stekala has stepped forward to share his sexual orientation publicly. The announcement comes following the loss of his beloved partner last November.

The 29-year-old, who began his World Cup career in 2015, played a pivotal role in securing bronze medals for Poland in the Ski Flying World Championships and the FIS World Championships in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

Despite Poland's strong conservative norms and religious influences, Stekala said he no longer wishes to hide his true self and hopes to continue living sincerely, honoring his partner's memory.
