Piotr Fijas (born 27 July 1958) is a Polish former ski jumper.
Fijas won a bronze medal at the 1979 FIS Ski Flying World Championships in Planica, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia).
He finished seventh on the individual normal hill at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, and scored three individual World Cup wins between 1980 and 1986, all in individual large hill competitions.
On 14 March 1987, he set the last parallel style ski jumping world record at 194m (636feet) on Velikanka bratov Gorišek in Planica, Yugoslavia.[1] [2] [3] It was held for seven years and only after that period world record was officially discussed and recognized at FIS Autumn meeting '94 (as decided at FIS Congress in Rio de Janeiro), when ridiculous rule established by World Cup founder Torbjørn Yggeseth, was lifted.[4]
