Marius Lindvik (born 27 June 1998) is a talented ski jumper from Norway. He is famous for winning a gold medal at the Olympic Games and several World Championships. Ski jumping is a sport where athletes ski down a steep ramp, called an inrun, and fly as far as they can.

A Rising Star

Marius showed his talent for ski jumping from a young age. He represents the sports club Rælingen SK and grew up in Frogner, Norway.

Success as a Junior Athlete

Before competing against the world's best adults, Marius had a very successful junior career.

  • 2016 Winter Youth Olympics: He won a silver medal in the normal hill competition.
  • Junior World Championships: Between 2016 and 2018, he won several medals. In 2018, he became the individual junior world champion, proving he was ready for bigger challenges.

Professional Career

Marius began competing in the top-level FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in 2015. The World Cup is a season-long tournament where the best ski jumpers from around the world compete.

In January 2018, he scored his first World Cup points in Zakopane, Poland, with an impressive 8th place finish. Since then, he has become one of the top ski jumpers in the world, winning many competitions.

Major Achievements

Olympic Champion

The biggest moment of Marius's career came at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. He competed in the men's large hill individual event and performed two amazing jumps. His skill and courage earned him the gold medal, making him an Olympic champion.

World Championships

Marius has also won many medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and the Ski Flying World Championships.

  • 2022 Vikersund: He became the World Champion in ski flying, a special type of ski jumping on even bigger hills.
  • 2023 Planica: He helped the Norwegian team win a silver medal in the team large hill event.
  • 2025 Trondheim: He had a very successful championship, winning two gold medals and a team bronze medal. However, he also faced a challenge when one of his silver medal results was disqualified. This happened because his ski jumping suit did not meet the sport's very strict equipment rules. This shows how important it is for all athletes to follow the rules carefully.
