Norway has won more Olympic ski-jumping gold medals than any other country.
Norway’s dominance reflects the sport’s deep roots in the country, where organized ski jumping developed in the 19th century. Norwegian athletes won the first Olympic ski-jumping competition at Chamonix 1924, and the nation has remained a major force across both individual and team events.
Norwegian Olympic champions include Jacob Tullin Thams, Birger Ruud, Toralf Engan, Espen Bredesen and Simon Ammann’s contemporary rivals. Norway has also produced prominent women’s jumpers since the women’s normal-hill event was added at Sochi 2014.
Medal tables can vary if they count only golds, all medals, or different historical country designations. The most-gold-medals claim refers to Olympic ski jumping as a whole and is distinct from the separate Nordic combined event, which also includes ski jumping.
