Daniel Forfang Biography

Daniel Forfang is one of the most popular and richest Former who was born on December 28, 1979 in Tromsø, Troms, Norway.

Forfang made his international debut in November 2001, with a seventh and eleventh place in two Continental Cup events in Kuusamo. He followed up with a seventh place in Lahti one month later, as well as several good results after New Year, including a third place in Courchevel in January. He had made his WorldCup debut in Predazzo in December, and achieved a fourteenth place in Hakuba and a seventh place in Sapporo in January. The 2002–03 season saw Forfang continue his good Continental Cup run, with a double victory in Zakopane in February. However, he did not make it to the final of any World Cup event, the closest being two 32nd places. He did win a silver medal at the Norwegian normal hill championships, albeit in the absence of Romøren, Pettersen, Ljøkelsøy and Bystøl. In the 2003–04 season he only competed in one World Cup event, and achieved a second place as the best result in the Continental Cup. Citing personal problems as well as economic hardships (there was little money to be made from the sport), he stated that he had contemplated retirement; however, in March 2004 he made progress as he broke the 200-metre barrier in the hill Vikersundbakken. He was the first person from Northern Norway to achieve this feat.

In 2004 the International Ski Federation introduced a rule under which ski jumpers faced sanctions if found to have a body mass index less than a certain level. At that time, director of the Norwegian national team Jan Erik Aalbu described the new rule as “perfect” for Daniel Forfang. A few months later, Norwegian national coach Mika Kojonkoski repeated that the new rule was an advantage to Forfang, seeing as he was relatively large-built compared to other ski jumpers. Standing at 1.84 m (6 ft 0 in) and weighing about 70 kilograms (150 lb), Forfang had been described by the Norwegian newspaper VG as a “muscle man”. Kojonkoski later elaborated that Forfang’s success “reinstated the ski jumping world’s faith” in that “larger” sportspeople have a future in the sport.
