Milestones

OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
Did not start in the normal hill/10km event in Beijing 2022. Got out of quarantine (COVID-19) just the day before the large hill/10km event, With only three trial jumps he won the ski jumping part of the competition and started into the cross country race with a 44 second lead. Lost some of his advantage by taking a wrong lane in the first stadion round which reduced the gap for the chasing group. Eventually finished eighth.

Did not start in the team event two days later.

Silver medallist with the team in PyeongChang 2018, 31.7 seconds behind Germany, and had two fourths individually.

In the normal hill/10km it was a tense finish for the bronze, as he battled for the podium with Austria's Lukas Klapfer and Johannes Ryzdek (GER).

In the large hill/10km, he was fourth, behind a German sweep of the podium, and two seconds behind bronze medallist Eric Frenzel.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
In winning the normal hill/10km in 2021 in Seefeld and crossing the line 1.4 seconds in front of Austrian Bernhard Gruber, he became the first Norwegian to win a Nordic combined gold medal at the World Championships since 2005.

In two appearances (2019, 2021) and eight events, he only missed the podium once, when he was fifth in the individual large hill/10km in 2019. In all other events, he won gold (team and normal hill/10km in 2019 and 2021) or silver (large hill/10km in 2021, team sprint in 2019 and 2021).

Four-time World Junior Championships medallist including two gold in 2015 (individual normal hill/5km and 10km) and two bronze (2014 and 2015 normal hill team).

WORLD CUP
First podium finish was in normal hill/5km in January 2015 (Seefeld). First race win was in large hill/10km in February 2016 (Oslo). During the 2019/20 season, he was on the podium 17 times and won 14 races.

Won the overall World Cup for the first time in the 2018/19 season, as in the following seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21.
