Andreas Goldberger is an Austrian former ski jumper. In a career spanning nearly fifteen years, he won the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup three times, the Four Hills Tournament twice, with multiple medals in the Ski Jumping World Championships and Winter Olympics. Despite his success at ski jumping, Goldberger preferred ski flying?a more extreme version of normal ski jumping, in which distances are far greater. In 1994, during training for the Ski Flying World Championships in Planica, he recorded a jump of 202 metres; this made him the first man to ever to jump over 200 metres, but he touched the snow upon landing, thus making the jump invalid as an official world record. In 2000, also at Planica, he jumped 225 m and set a world record which stood until 2003.
