Shortly before home World Championships
Norway’s Olympic champion retires after horror fall
The Norwegian Olympic champion Daniel-Andre Tande will no longer be jumping off the ski jumps in future.
Just under five months before the home World Championships in Trondheim, the 30-year-old announced his retirement via Instagram. He is still suffering mentally from the consequences of his serious fall on the Planica flying hill in 2021, said Tande.
After the accident on the Slovenian facility, which is considered the most delicate ski flying hill in the world, Tande was in an induced coma for several days.
Olympic gold in Pyeongchang
In 2018, Tande won Olympic gold with Norway's team in Pyeongchang. In the same year, the eight-time individual World Cup winner also celebrated his greatest individual success when he became Ski Flying World Champion in Oberstdorf. Tande also won three World Championship gold medals with the team.
