THOMAS MORGENSTERN

Thomas Morgenstern (born October 30, 1986 in Spittal an der Drau) is an Austrian ski jumper. Having won the world cup and the Grand Prix twice each, the Four Hills Tournament and the Nordic Tournament once, and 12 gold medals at world championships and Olympic games, he is one of the most successful contemporary jumpers.

Thomas Morgenstern is one of the biggest natural ski jumping talents in Austria. After winning three continental cup events (out of four starts),[1] he made his ski jumping debut at the 2002-03 Four Hills Tournament. He finished 9th in Oberstdorf, 25th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 9th in Innsbruck and 6th in Bischofshofen, finishing up as 10th in the final ranking. Five days after the end of the tournament, he won his first World Cup jump, in Liberec, Czech Republic.[2] In the following summer, he won the Ski jumping Grand Prix for his first time.[3]

He continued his success well into the 2003-04 season. He was second overall to Sigurd Pettersen during most of the Four Hills tournament, finally ending up in fourth place. He won his first team medal with a 3rd place at the Ski-Flying World Championships.[4]

In the next season, Morgenstern won gold medals in both team events (normal hill and large hill) at the Nordic World Ski Championships.[5]

During the 2006 Winter Olympics, he won the gold medals in the individual and team large hill competitions.[6] Further, he won the bronze medal in the single event at the Ski-Flying World Championships in Bad Mitterndorf.[4] By ending up as 5th, Morgenstern achieved his best ranking in the world cup so far.[2]

In the 2006-07 season, he won the large hill team event at the Nordic World Ski Championships. Further, by reaching the 3rd place in the normal hill event he won his first individual medal at world championships.[5] As in 2003, Morgenstern won the Ski jumping Grand Prix.[3]

At the beginning of the 2007-08 season, he won the first six competitions, which is an all-time record.[7] With these six wins he also tied the record for most wins in a row, previously set by Janne Ahonen, Matti Hautamäki and Gregor Schlierenzauer.[8] In early 2008, Morgenstern won a gold medal at the Ski-Flying World Championships in Oberstdorf. Morgenstern won the world cup for the first time, 233 points ahead of Gregor Schlierenzauer.

During the 2008-09 season, Morgenstern could not win any competition, but won a team gold medal at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Liberec.[5]

The 2009-10 world cup again was very modest with only two victories. However, Morgenstern won gold medals in the team events at the Ski-Flying World Championships and the 2010 Winter Olympics.[4][6]

The season 2010-11 again started very successful by winning four of the first six competitions. Morgenstern further won the Four Hills Tournament for the first time in this season. In January 2011, he won his first ski flying event in Harrachov, and fixed his second victory of the ski jumping world cup with a 5th place at the ski flying competition on the Vikersundbakken on February 13. At the 2011 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo he won gold on the normal hill. It was his first gold medal in an individual event at world championships. In the following he further won gold medals in the team events (normal hill and large hill), both times together with Andreas Kofler, Martin Koch and Gregor Schlierenzauer, as well as the silver medal in the individual large-hill event.

As of March 7, 2011, Morgenstern has 21 World Cup victories, 3 Olympic gold medals, and 9 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze medals at world championships.

@megadog103 A Morgi niby mało dokonał? Wygrał praktycznie wszystko co było do wygrania. Brakuje mu jedynie tytułu Mistrza Świata na dużej skoczni. Ostatni sezon poszedł mu fenomenalnie. Niewielu jest skoczków, którzy skaczą na niesamowicie wysokim poziomie przez CAŁY sezon.

[megadog103]

Nie kminię... To ma pokazywać czego dokonał Morgi czy to jest film dla dziewczyn?... Bo jak dla dziewczyn to rozumiem ale jak to filmik miał być na jego dokonaniach to lepiej wziąć Schlieriego, Goldiego, Ammana, Schmitta, Małysza, Ahonena itp. Którzy na ogół mają więcej medali...

Morgi ma 25 zwycięstw. Dla porównania Małysz ma 38 a Ahonen i Schlieri 36.
