biography
Järyn is a five-time Olympic participant. He participated in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer , 1998 in Nagano , 2002 in Salt Lake City , 2006 in Turin and 2010 in Vancouver . He achieved his best placement in 1998 at the Nagano Super-G with sixth place.
He celebrated the greatest success of his career at the 1996 World Cup in the Sierra Nevada . Behind the Norwegian Atle Skårdal , he won the silver medal in the Super-G. At the 2007 World Cup in Åre , he won the bronze medal in the downhill and with the Swedish team the silver medal in the team competition . Jarbyn is the oldest athlete who has ever won a medal at a ski world championship.
Despite his long career, he was never able to win a World Cup race. His best place in a World Cup race was second place in the Kvitfjell Super-G in 1998 . In September 2007, Järyn suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee while training in Chile . Despite the injury hiatus throughout the 2007/08 season and the advanced age, he continued his career thereafter. On December 19, 2008, he took third place at the Super-G in Val Gardena, at the age of 39 years and 8 months; This makes him by far the oldest driver ever to have achieved a podium finish in the World Cup.
At the Olympic Winter Games on February 19, 2010, Järbyn suffered a fall in Whistler in the men's Super-G and was transported by helicopter to the hospital, where a slight concussion and facial abrasions were diagnosed. A few weeks later he started again in the World Cup. In March 2012 he announced his retirement from top-class sport.
