On 2 March 2013 he won there a bronze medal in team competition with teammates: Kamil Stoch, Maciej Kot, Piotr Żyła.[3] Kubacki jumped 126 m and 128 m. The primary outcome of the competition his team took fourth place, but after re-counting the scores because of Thomas Morgenstern, who noticed a mistake in points and at the request of the Germans, they finished in third place (Norway was in front of the Polish, but Bardal's jump was badly counted).[4]

2017/2018

The summer season was very successful for him. He won 5 of 9 competitions: in Wisła, Hinterzarten, Courchevel, Hinzenbach and Klingenthal.

He waited for 143 competitions for his first individual podium.[11] He had a chance to reach overall podium of 2017-18 Four Hills Tournament, but he lost his chance in the last jump in Bischofshofen and in the final summary he took 6th place, which was his best result in Four Hills tournament in career. On 21 January 2018 Polish national team in squad: Stoch, Hula, Kubacki, and Żyła, won the first ever medal, a bronze, for Poland in ski flying in team competition.[12] [13] On the same day, coach Horngacher officially appointed him to 2018 Winter Olympics.[14] Once again, Kubacki took the third place in the competition, this time in Willingen.[15]
