Career

Jörg Ritzerfeld began his sporting activity in childhood as a toboggan runner . He found ski jumping through the Nordic combined , in which he won the national ski games in 1994 before the later World Cup athletes Stephan Hocke and Björn Kircheisen .

In January 2006 he had to undergo an operation and was only able to start training again after a break of several months. In the 2006/07 season he was able to take part in the World Cup with more success than ever before. At the Winter Universiade 2009 in Harbin (China) he won the bronze medal in the team competition on the 90 m hill.

As a sports soldier, Ritzerfeld belonged to the Bundeswehr sports promotion group in Oberhof . In March 2006 he began a 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.

At the Winter Universiade 2009 in Harbin (China) he won the bronze medal in the team competition on the 90 m hill. On January 31, 2011, he completed his last competition as part of the Winter Universiade in Erzurum , Turkey , which he finished with 10th place.
