Why he might be annoying:

    He is shy and reticent, leading many in the world of ski jumping to label him as moody, snobbish and standoffish.
    He never achieved success until the Polish national team hired a psychiatrist to work with him.
    His hobbies are very cliché (soccer and automobiles).
    He is sponsored by Red Bull.
    After the Polish federation deemed they could no longer afford the psychiatrist, after the 2002/2003 season, he began to struggle again.
    Despite being a co-favorite for the 2002 Winter Olympics in both individual events with Germany's Sven Hannavald, he, along with Sven Hannavald, were upset in both events by unknown, unproven Swiss jumper Simon Ammann.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Those who know him disagree with his critics, saying he is just quiet, unassuming and without ego.
    He is involved in a lot of charity work.
    After years of poor results, he nearly quit the sport to find other means to support his family before the psychiatrist helped him focus and improve his results.
    His improved results have helped him achieve a running total of 50 top-three finishes, including 24 victories, on the FIS World Cup tour.
    He topped the final FIS World Cup standings for three straight years (2001-2003), becoming the only ski jumper in history to do so.
    He did not blame the loss of his personal psychiatrist with his struggles in the 2003/2004 season, where he only made four podiums, never finishing higher than second.
    Despite the disappointment of not winning Olympic gold, he was very eager and authentic when congratulating Ammann (the gold medal winner).
