In addition, she won the overall ski jumping World Cup in the 2017/18 season.

Career

Lundby has been in the Continental Cup since August 12, 2007 . At the Junior World Championships 2008 in Zakopane she finished 30th and in 2009 in Štrbské Pleso 34th place. In Notodden 2009 she achieved her best individual result in the Continental Cup with 20th place. At the first Nordic World Ski Championships in 2009 for women in Liberec , she finished 22nd. At her third Junior World Championships in 2010 in Hinterzarten she was disqualified and a year later she was 26th in the individual in Otepää . At their second Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 , the individual jumped to eleventh place. On December 3, 2011 she made her debut in the World Cup in Lillehammer and finished 17th. In Hinzenbach , she jumped 13th place, her best individual result of the 2011/12 season in the World Cup. In the overall World Cup, she finished 26th. At the Junior World Championships 2012 in Erzurum she finished ninth in the individual and sixth in the team. On November 23, 2012, she won the mixed team competition with the Norwegian team at the World Cup in Lillehammer.

After six participations in the Junior World Championships , Lundby won bronze in Val di Fiemme in 2014 . At the Olympic premiere of women's ski jumping in Sochi , she finished eighth, making her the best Norwegian. On March 1, 2014, Lundby reached her first individual World Cup podium when jumping in Râșnov with second place.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2015 in Falun , she won the silver medal in mixed team jumping. At the post-season Norwegian Championships she won the gold medal in Notodden, her third title after 2011 and 2014.

In the opening competition for the 2015/16 season , she finished third at Lysgårdsbakken in Lillehammer. In the course of the season another third place followed in Oberstdorf , a second place on the Holmenkollbakken in Oslo and a third place in Hinzenbach . In the 2016/17 season Lundby celebrated the first World Cup victories in Nizhny Tagil , Sapporo , Râşnov and Ljubno . At the end of the season she finished third behind Sara Takanashi and Yūki Itō in the overall World Cup.

Lundby emerged as the clear winner from the Norwegian national championship, which took place before the 2017/18 season, and her big breakthrough into the world's elite came during the season. On December 1, 2017, she won the first World Cup of the season in Lillehammer ahead of the two Germans Katharina Althaus and Carina Vogt . Before the 2018 Winter Olympics , she won another six competitions and traveled to Pyeongchang as a clear favorite . On February 12, 2018, she lived up to her role as favorite and won the gold medal in ski jumping with a lead of 12.0 points . This made her the successor to Carina Vogt. With the victory in Râșnov on March 4, 2018, Maren Lundby secured the overall World Cup in the 2017/18 season ahead of schedule. On March 11, 2018, she was able to win a jumping from the large hill for the first time on the Holmenkollbakken in Oslo and her ninth World Cup victory of the season.

At the beginning of the 2018/19 season , she already achieved a number of podium places and finally her first World Cup victory of the season on January 13th in Sapporo . After a fourth place in the following event in Yamagata on January 18, she achieved her second win of the season there two days later. This success was the prelude to a series of six victories in a row in Râșnov (two competitions), Hinzenbach (two competitions) and Ljubno . Only Sara Takanashi managed to lay the foundation for the day's victory on February 10 with an excellent jump in the first round of the second competition in Ljubno and thus to end Maren Lundby's winning streak. But the two following competitions on the large hill in Oberstdorf on February 16 and 17 were won again by Maren Lundby.

In the Nordic World Ski Championships 2019 in Seefeld Lundby won the individual competition and together with Anna Odine Strøm , Ingebjørg Saglien Bråten and Silje Opseth the first time at a World Cup discharged team competition and in the final mixed-team event together with Anna Odine Strøm, Robert Johansson and Andreas Stjernen respectively Bronze medal.

In a close race for the overall World Cup 2019/20 , Lundby was able to prevail against Chiara Hölzl and thus become the overall winner for the third time in a row. So far, only Adam Małysz has achieved this feat with the men.
