Adam Henryk Małysz ([ˈadam ˈmawɨʂ] ⓘ; born 3 December 1977) is a Polish former ski jumper and rally driver.

[5] Małysz began his senior-level ski jumping career on 4 January 1995, finishing seventeenth at the third event of the Four Hills Tournament in Innsbruck.

His breakthrough season came in 2000–01, when he won the Four Hills Tournament and ended Martin Schmitt's long run of success dating back to 1998–99.

[6] Małysz went on to dominate the season by reeling off five consecutive individual victories in Innsbruck, Bischofshofen, both ski flying competitions in Harrachov, and Park City.

He finished the season by a landslide points margin with three more consecutive wins in Falun, Trondheim and Oslo to claim his first Nordic Tournament title.

[8] Małysz picked up one last win of the season in Zakopane to the delight of his Polish fans, thereafter finishing consistently on the podium to claim his second World Cup title by a comfortable points margin.

In the following years, as is the case with almost all ski jumpers in the prime of their career, Małysz was unable to maintain his previous form.

This secured Małysz a fourth World Cup title, equalling Matti Nykänen's record total in the 1980s.

A fitting end to Małysz's career came in the form of a home victory in Zakopane on 21 January 2011, an individual bronze medal on the normal hill at the 2011 World Championships in Oslo on 26 February, and third place at the season finale in Planica on 20 March.
