Bjørn Einar Romøren

Bjørn Einar Romøren (born April 1, 1981 in Oslo ) is a former Norwegian ski jumper . His greatest international success is the world championship title in the team competition at the ski flying world championships in 2004 and 2006 . He was able to win one bronze medal in team jumping at the Olympic Winter Games and two at the World Ski Jumping Championships. At the 2011 World Championships in his hometown of Oslo, he won the silver medal in the team competition with the Norwegian team.

Career

Romøren began ski jumping at the age of three and a half after he became aware of the sport through his older brother Jan-Erik, who was also skiing at the time. During his youth he did Nordic combined , alpine skiing , indoor climbing , scuba diving and playing tennis , all at an amateur level. At the age of 12 he jumped in Lillehammer with a broken arm from Lysgårdsbakken and reached a distance of 115 m for the first time in his career over 100 m.

Romøren, who jumped for the Hosle IL ski club, first took part in a World Cup ski jumping event in 2001 . During the Four Hills Tournament he won his first World Cup victory on January 6, 2003 in Bischofshofen , which was also the first Norwegian victory in a Four Hills Tournament since 1994. Under coach Mika Kojonkoski he became an integral part of the Norwegian World Cup squad with whom he won the bronze medal in team competition at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2003 in Val di Fiemme . The 2002/03 season he finished 14th in the overall World Cup ranking. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2005 , Romøren again won bronze in the team competition on the large hill. In 2004 and 2006 he was team ski flying world champion with the Norwegian team. At the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin he won the bronze medal in the team competition on the normal hill together with Lars Bystøl , Tommy Ingebrigtsen and Roar Ljøkelsøy . In addition, he won the Norwegian championships at the end of February 2006 in individual jumping and won silver in the team competition with the Akershus team. On January 12, 2008, at the World Cup competition in Predazzo , he fell with his back on the ground from a height of seven meters after the right ski had loosened from the binding immediately after jumping, but remained largely uninjured.

In the course of his career, Romøren has won eight individual competitions and six team competitions in the World Cup. His best result in the overall World Cup ranking so far was third place in the 2003/04 season . He also held the world record in ski flying from March 20, 2005 to February 11, 2011, set in Planica at 239 meters.

At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , he reached 23rd place in jumping from the normal hill. In 2010 he won the Norwegian championship on the normal hill in Vikersund.

After he won the Continental Cup show jumping in Oslo in summer 2010 and also achieved good placings at the Ski Jumping Grand Prix in Liberec , he started the 2010/11 season with a second place in the team competition in Kuusamo . He was also able to win individual World Cup points with 15th place. In addition to Lillehammer , he succeeded in doing this in the following World Cup competitions. At the Four Hills Tournament 2010/11 , he surprised with a second place in the qualification for jumping in Innsbruck , but could not keep up with the world's best and ended up in 14th place. He achieved the same placement in Bischofshofen , whereupon he also reached 14th place in the overall ranking of the tour.

After the Four Hills Tournament, there were four top 10 placements in five competitions in Harrachov and Zakopane . At the Team World Cup in Willingen , he and the team just barely missed the podium as fourth, but was able to achieve second place a week later in Oberstdorf and only had to admit defeat to the team from Austria. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2011 on his home hill in Oslo, he won the silver medal in team competition together with Anders Jacobsen , Anders Bardal and Tom Hilde .

In the following World Cup competitions Romøren again won important World Cup points. In the ski flying in Planica at the end of the season, he and the team again achieved second place. He finished the season in 17th place in the overall World Cup standings. In the following World Cup season 2011/12 he started after changing results in the summer rather unsuccessfully without winning a point in Lillehammer. Only in Harrachov was he able to score again and even came first with the team after the team competition. In the following weeks, the now 30-year-old was unable to build on his achievements. It wasn't until February that he jumped back into the top ten in Predazzo . At the Ski Flying World Championships 2012 in Vikersund he missed the medal ranks in team flying with the team by one place and ended up fourth. In the single flight he was in the end on the 29th place. After he won the qualification a week later in Planica, he finished tenth and ninth in the individual flights and second with the team in the team competition.

After starting rather unsuccessfully in the summer, he competed in Hakuba in August 2012, his last international competition for a long time. Back problems were considered the reason for his break from ski jumping, which is why he underwent surgery in October 2012 after unsuccessful attempts at treatment. Although this was successful, Romøren could not return during the 2012/13 season and had to postpone his comeback until summer 2013. Romøren's main goal was the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , after which he wanted to end his career. At the end of April 2013, it was announced that Romøren was temporarily unable to play in the Norwegian national team, but he planned to take part in the 2014 Winter Olympics , but this did not materialize. It was only used internationally in March 2014. After winning the Continental Cup jumping in Zakopane on March 9, 2014 , he reached 18th place at the Ski Flying World Championships in Harrachov, Czech Republic . His last appearance was at the World Cup jumping on March 23, 2014 in Planica , where he Place 16. He then announced the end of his active career.

Private life

Romøren studies BI at the Norwegian School of Managements and lives with his parents in Hosle in Bærum . Since the beginning of 2006 he has also owned an apartment in La Manga , Spain , where he prefers to play golf . Since July 23, 2006 he has been in a relationship with the Norwegian ski racer Martine Remsøy , whom he married on July 23, 2011 in Sweden . His brother Jan-Erik Romøren (stage name Nag) is the frontman of the Norwegian black metal band Tsjuder . In July 2019 it was announced that Bjørn Einar Romøren had a tumor in his back. After several chemotherapy and radiation treatments , he was considered cured just under a year later.
