Career
Born in Norway , Haugen emigrated to the United States in 1908 and settled in Dillon , Colorado . Haugen took part in the first Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924 and came fourth in the ski jumping competition. In 1974 the jury found a calculation error and Haugen was subsequently declared a bronze medalist. Anne-Marie Magnusson, the daughter of the original medal winner Thorleif Haug , presented the now almost 86-year-old, 50 years late, with the bronze medal on September 12, 1974 in the Holmenkollen House in Oslo . In the cross-country skiing single over 18 km he reached the 33rd place. In the singles of the Nordic Combined , he finished 21st.
Four years later at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz , Haugen finished 43rd in the 18 km cross-country skiing race. Before that, he had reached 43rd place in ski jumping on the normal hill. In the individual combination, he was ranked 25th.
Haugen won the US ski jumping championships in Coleraine in 1910, Minneapolis in 1923 and Duluth in 1926.
After the end of his career, he moved to Lake Tahoe with his brother Lars Haugen and founded the Lake Tahoe Ski Club there . Up until old age, he accompanied the junior ski training there as a trainer. In 1963 Haugen was inducted into the US Ski Hall of Fame and 15 years later in 1978 into the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame .
In 1984 Haugen died of prostate cancer after a serious illness .
