Andreas Wank (born February 18, 1988 in Halle (Saale) ) is a former German ski jumper and sports soldier in the rank of Oberfeldwebel in the sports promotion group of the Bundeswehr in Oberhof . He became Olympic champion with the German team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . His greatest international success to date in an individual competition is the overall victory at the Summer Grand Prix 2012 . He also won the silver medal with the German team at the 2010 Winter Olympics , the 2012 Ski Flying World Championships and the 2013 Nordic World Ski Championships .
Private
Andreas Wank originally comes from Domnitz in Saxony-Anhalt , but spent his childhood from the age of ten in Oberhof , where he attended the sports high school and graduated from high school in 2007. Since then, Wank has started for the WSV Oberhof 05. When the ski jumps in Oberhof were newly built or renovated, he moved to the Black Forest in September 2010 . After living in Breitnau for three years, he has lived in Titisee since 2014 , where he built a house.
At the end of March 2008, he began the Bachelor's degree in International Management at the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences , a course that was adapted to the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences and specially designed for top athletes. Since completing his studies, he has been working at the TU Darmstadt .
Career
Andreas Wank started ski jumping at an early age. At the age of only 12, he became the German student master in 2000. In 2001 he reached 3rd place in the overall ranking in the pupil's cup. He also reached 3rd place in the overall ranking of the German Cup. In 2002 he was part of the team for the German Championships. He won the silver medal in the team competition. A year later, he started again in the junior classification and ended up being German Vice Junior Champion. In addition, he again reached 3rd place in the overall ranking of the German Cup. From 2004 Wank started in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup and already reached his first podium place in his second competition in Rovaniemi with 3rd place. Then Wank belonged to the national group for the World Cup jumping in Oberstdorf on December 29, 2004 as part of the Four Hills Tournament 2004/05 . In his first jump in the highest ski jumping series, he reached 45th place. In 2005 Wank became German youth champion in both the individual and the team. At the German Senior Championships, he finished sixth. In 2007 he won the gold medal at the German Championships with the Thuringia I team.
On February 27, 2008 he was in the Polish Zakopane junior world champion in singles. Two days later he also won the team jumping title. In the 2008/09 season he was part of the senior national team for the ski jumping World Cup for the first time . In the end he reached 59th place in the overall World Cup ranking.
On July 19, 2009 Andreas Wank won the individual competition of the German championship in ski jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen completely surprisingly with jumps of 135 meters and 139 meters in front of Michael Neumayer and Michael Uhrmann. He achieved his best placement in an individual competition to date at the Summer Grand Prix in Klingenthal on October 3, 2009, when he finished the competition in 7th place.
In the 2009/10 season he was part of the German team's senior squad for the first time. On January 16, 2010, Wank made the jump to the podium for the first time by finishing second behind Thomas Morgenstern in Sapporo . At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , he came in jumping from the large hill to 28th place. In the Olympic team competition, Wank had the greatest success of his career up to then, winning silver together with Michael Neumayer , Martin Schmitt and Michael Uhrmann .
On August 19, 2012, he won his first Summer Grand Prix in Hinterzarten . Less than a week later he won both competitions in Hakuba . With these three victories he laid the foundation for the overall victory in the Summer Grand Prix , which he finally secured with a 15th place in the final competition in Klingenthal .
At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2013 in Val di Fiemme , he and his teammates Severin Freund , Michael Neumayer and Richard Freitag won the silver medal behind Austria in the team competition on the large hill, after the Norwegian team was subsequently stripped of the silver medal for a miscalculation of the run-up. The lead over the now third-placed Poles was only 0.8 points. A week later he won a team competition in the World Cup for the first time with the German team in Lahti .
In January 2014, Andreas Wank prevailed against Michael Neumayer within the team and thus secured the remaining German starting place for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi . There he took tenth place on the normal hill, after having been fifth before the second round. On February 17, 2014, Wank was Olympic champion in team jumping together with Marinus Kraus , Andreas Wellinger and Severin Freund in Sochi . For this success he received the silver laurel leaf from Federal President Gauck on May 8, 2014 .
In May 2014, Wank decided to start for SC Hinterzarten instead of WSV Oberhof 05 , as he has been training at the base in Hinterzarten since 2010 .
The 2018/19 ski jumping season was disappointing for Wank. After he started the winter in the Continental Cup , he could not recommend himself for the national group due to mixed results and thus missed the Four Hills Tournament . His best result was second place in Sapporo, Japan, on January 18, 2019. However, he was unable to repeat this placement, which is why he was transferred to the third-class FIS Cup in February . There, however, Wank dominated the two weekends in Rastbüchl and Villach and won all four competitions.
Wank announced the end of his career on July 11, 2019 and, after his last jump on July 27, 2019, switched to the supervisory staff of the German Ski Association.
