Øyvind Berg (born March 10, 1971 in Løken i Høland ) is a former Norwegian ski jumper .

Career

Berg began his international career by winning the silver medal in team jumping at the Junior World Championships in 1988 in Saalfelden together with Tor-Helge Bakken , Kåre Herrem and Kent Johanssen . A year later he won the bronze medal at the Junior World Championships in 1989 in Vang together with Erlend Schumann , Henning Wold and Kent Johanssen. On March 7, 1990, Berg made his debut in the Ski Jumping World Cup , reaching 59th place in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden . In the following months he was able to steadily increase his performance, so that on January 12, 1991 in Oberhof he was able to win World Cup points for the first time with 13th place. On March 3, he made it into the top ten for the first time in Lahti , before jumping on the podium for the first time on March 13 in Trondheim with a third place. Berg finished the 1990/91 World Cup season in 23rd place overall. At the Norwegian Championship in Trondheim in 1992, he won the bronze medal on the large hill behind Lasse Ottesen and Magne Johansen . Shortly afterwards he was part of the Norwegian contingent for the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville . There he jumped from the large hill to 34th place and landed on the normal hill tied with Sweden's Staffan Tällberg on 35th place. After the games, Berg was rarely able to win World Cup points. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun in 1993 , he reached 22nd place on the normal hill. With the team, he surprisingly won gold in the team competition on the large hill. After the World Cup he was able to win more World Cup points and place in the top ten. At the Norwegian Championships in Lillehammer in 1993 , he won the silver medal on the normal hill behind Espen Bredesen. He repeated this success in 1994 in Vegårshei from the large hill. Despite stagnating performance in the World Cup, due to which he temporarily competed in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup , he was again part of the squad for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. He jumped from the normal hill to 52nd and from the large hill to 17th place. In the team competition, together with Roar Ljøkelsøy , Lasse Ottesen and Espen Bredesen, he just missed the medal ranks with 4th place. After the Olympic Games, Berg and the team were able to achieve 3rd place in the team competitions in Lahti and Thunder Bay and thus stood on the podium again, but also for the last time. In 1995 Berg won silver again at the Norwegian Championships on the normal hill in Oslo . In 1996 he ended his active ski jumping career after he won bronze in team jumping with the team at the Norwegian Championship in Meldal .
