Janne Petteri Ahonen (pronounced[ˈjɑnːeˈpetːeriˈɑhonen]ⓘ; born 11 May 1977)[1] is a Finnish formerski jumper anddrag racer. He competed in ski jumping between 1992 and 2018, and is one of the sport's most successful athletes of all time, as well as one of the most successful from Finland. Ahonen won two consecutiveWorld Cup overall titles (the most recent ski jumper to do so, as of 2023), theFour Hills Tournament a record five times, two individual gold medals at theWorld Championships, and theNordic Tournament once. NicknamedKuningaskotka ("King Eagle"), he has been described as the greatest ski jumper to have never won an individual medal at theWinter Olympics.[2]

Career

[edit]

Ahonen's most notable achievements include fiveWorld Championships (normal hill in 1997; large hill in 2005; team large hill in 1995, 1997 and 2003), twoWorld Cup overall titles (2003/04 and2004/05) and a record-breaking five victories in theFour Hills Tournament (1998/99, 2002/03, 2004/05, 2005/06 and2007/08). He is the all-time leader in World Cup points, podiums (133) and top 10 appearances (245). With 36 World Cup victories, Ahonen has the fourth-most behindGregor Schlierenzauer,Matti Nykänen andAdam Małysz. In 2005, Ahonen was named theFinnish Sports Personality of the Year.

Over the course of nine World Ski Jumping Championships, nineSki Flying World Championships and sevenWinter Olympics, Ahonen has won a total of 19 medals, equalling the medal count of Matti Nykänen–although most of Ahonen's are in team, rather than individual events. Despite his successes, Ahonen has never won an individual Olympic medal, placing fourth three times. In Olympic team competitions, he has won two silver medals. His seven Olympic Games rank him second in terms of number of Olympic participations among ski jumpers, behindNoriaki Kasai.[2]

Ahonen announced his retirement from ski jumping on 28 March 2008, with a farewell competition held inLahti on 9 July 2008. After a season's absence, he returned for two more seasons in 2009/10 and 2010/11. The best achievement of his revived career was a second place in the2009/10 Four Hills Tournament.

During his ski jumping career, Ahonen has been known for his apparent lack of emotion and is rarely seen smiling even on the podium. When asked for a reason, he responded with "We came here to jump and not to smile." In Finnish interviews Ahonen often made sarcastic comments with dry humour. The German press nicknamed Ahonen"Der Mann mit der Maske" ("The Man with the Mask"),[3] in reference to the distinctive plastic masks he wore in competitions from 1996 until 2002.[4][5] In Finland, Ahonen is often called"Kuningaskotka" ("King Eagle").

On 10 January 2013, Ahonen announced that he would come out of retirement for a second time, with the aim of winning a medal in an individual event at the2014 Winter Olympics inSochi.[6] He went on to finish 29th on thenormal hill and 22nd on thelarge hill. Ahonen also was a member of the Finnish ski jumping team at the2018 Winter Olympics inPyeongChang,South Korea, where he placed 27th and 40th in the individual competitions and was part of the Finnish team that finished eighth in theteam competition.[2]

In October 2018 Ahonen announced his retirement from competitive jumping for a third time, stating "I will never quit ski jumping – I will continue to jump when I feel like it – but I can confirm that I will not take part in any competitions anymore".[2]
