Matti Antero Hautamäki (born July 14, 1981 in Oulu ) is a former Finnish ski jumper . He is the middle of three brothers and the younger brother of the former ski jumper Jussi Hautamäki . Like his brother, he started for the Puijon Hiihtoseura club in Kuopio .
Career
At the age of seven, Matti Hautamäki, motivated by his older brother Jussi, started ski jumping on a hill near his native Oulu. At the age of 16, he moved in 1997 with his brother and his friend Lauri Hakola of Kuopio , where he visited the sports school and the coach Pekka Niemelä at the Junior World Championship in Canada Canmore in the move already team silver fetched. The following year, he won bronze in individual and with the team in Sankt Moritz , also at the Junior World Championships.
On November 29, 1997, the Finn had his first World Cup appearance in Lillehammer, Norway, and on his second appearance the following day, he scored his first World Cup points with a 17th place. He achieved his first podium on November 27, 1999 in Kuopio when he finished third.
In the following years, the Finn was always a permanent member of the World Cup team. His first winter he took victory again on 2 December 2000 in Kuopio, earlier he had already Grand Summer Prix contest in August 26 of that year, the Japanese Hakuba can decide for themselves.
To date (as of March 2009) he has won 16 individual World Cup competitions, three of them in ski flying. There are also nine team wins, four of them flying. He achieved six of his individual victories in a record series in the 2004/2005 season , when he successively won the second competition in Pragelato, Italy (the dress rehearsal for the Olympic competitions next year), all four competitions of the Nordic Tournament and the first flight competition in Planica. Previously - in the same season - only Hautamäki's compatriot Janne Ahonen had achieved such a winning streak .
With this winning streak he was able to win the overall ranking of the Nordic Tournament for the second time after 2002. He achieved his best placement in the Four Hills Tournament in 2001/02 when he finished second.
The Finn has won four medals at the Olympic Games so far. At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City he won silver with the team on the large hill and bronze in the individual of the same, four years later at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin he won team silver again and he also won the individual on the normal hill the silver medal behind Lars Bystøl .
At world championships he was once able to win gold in the team at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2005 in Oberstdorf , plus two silver medals from the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2003 in Val di Fiemme with the team and in the individual from the large hill.
The Finn is considered an excellent ski flyer. With his current best distance of 235.5 meters, he held the Finnish record until February 13, 2011, when Janne Happonen sailed 240 meters in Vikersund. In 2003 he improved the world record at that time in three steps to 231 meters and held it until March 20, 2005, when he first lost it, then regained it and lost it again in the same competition to the Norwegian Bjørn Einar Romøren , who was able to stand 239 meters. However, he never became world ski flying champion. So far he has won bronze once in an individual ( 2002 in Harrachov ) and three times silver in the team ( 2004 in Planica , 2006 on Kulm and 2008 in Oberstdorf ).
In recent years, the Finn has been struggling with knee problems, which have made him think aloud about ending his career, especially after the 2009/2010 season, which was one of the worst of his career. But due to the ideas of the new Finnish head coach Pekka Niemelä , he decided to continue his ski jumping career. In the 2010/2011 season he was the best and most consistent Finn.
On March 16, 2012, he announced that he would end his career the next day after his team ski flying in Planica, Slovenia .
Just a few months after retiring from ski jumping, Hautamäki began training as a train driver.
