Career

Tande, who started for the Byåsen IL association , has been skiing since the age of nine. He made his international debut in 2001 in the Nordic Combined B-World Cup. Already in the first competitions he reached the points and was able to improve his results from competition to competition. At the 2002 Junior World Championships in Schonach in the Black Forest , he won the bronze medal in a team competition with Magnus Moan , Mathias Oestvik and Jo-Wesche Fossheim . In the individual competition over 10 kilometers as well as on the normal hill, he was seventh. After the Junior World Championship he got a place in the World Cup squad at the end of the 2001/02 season . Already at his first World Cup start in Trondheim he reached the points in the sprint.

In August 2002, Tande managed to place in the top ten for the first time in the Summer Grand Prix . He reached eighth place in Steinbach-Hallenberg . In the end, he finished ninth in the Grand Prix overall standings with 141 points. At the Norwegian Championship in Høydalsmo in 2002, he won the silver medal in the sprint. From November 2002 he started firmly in the World Cup, reaching the beginning of the 2002/03 season good results within the top 10. In the Junior World Championship 2003 in Sweden Sollefteå he succeeded in the individual and in the sprint winning the bronze medal. With the team he won the silver medal in the team competition behind the team from Germany. Less than two weeks after the Junior World Championships, he also started at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2003 in Fleimstal . He had to be content with 20th place in the Gundersen singles and 25th place in the sprint. Together with Kenneth Braaten , Ola Morten Græsli and Kristian Hammer , he narrowly missed the medal ranks in the team competition and came fourth behind the teams from Austria , Germany and Finland . After the World Cup, Tande reached top positions in the World Cup again, so that he finished twelfth in the overall World Cup ranking. He finished eighth in the sprint classification.

In August 2003 Tande started again in the Summer Grand Prix and made it onto the podium for the first time with a third place in Steinbach-Hallenberg. At the beginning of the new World Cup season , he succeeded in doing this on December 6, 2003 in Trondheim . On January 27, 2004, he achieved second place in the sprint in Sapporo, his best place in the World Cup to date. He had merely Hannu Manninen beaten. At the Junior World Championship 2004 , which was held a short time later in Stryn , Norway , Tande surprisingly won gold in all competitions of the combination, including in both individual competitions and with the team in the team competition.

After the Junior World Championship, Tande mostly managed to place in the top ten in the World Cup. However, a victory was still a long way off. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf in 2005 , he won the gold medal with the team that included Håvard Klemetsen , Magnus Moan and Kristian Hammer. In the Gundersen singles he reached ninth place and seventh place in the sprint. Despite this success, Tande also competed in the 2005 Junior World Championships in Rovaniemi, Finland, a month later . He again won gold in the individual disciplines, but was only fifth with the team.

At the Summer Grand Prix 2005 Tande achieved third places without exception and therefore also third place in the overall ranking. The 2005/06 World Cup season began for Tande with a third and a second place in Kuusamo . On December 17, 2005, he celebrated his first World Cup victory in a sprint in Ramsau am Dachstein . However, it remained the only one for some time.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , Tande narrowly missed the medal ranks in the individual competition with a fourth place after winning ski jumping , but only 22nd in cross-country skiing . In the sprint, he reached sixth place. In the World Cup he was able to win an individual World Cup again in Oslo after the Olympic Games . In this way he reached fourth place in the overall World Cup.

He won the 2006 Summer Grand Prix with the team in Berchtesgaden . In the individual competitions he could not build on the previous year. After he started the new 2006/07 season with top places , Tande won the bronze medal with the team at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 in Sapporo . In the sprint he reached sixth place and in the Gundersen singles 19th place. After the world championship, his performance decreased and he could not build on successes from the previous season. It was not until the 2007/08 season that he found his way back to his old strength and thus achieved a podium again in December 2007 in Ramsau am Dachstein. In January 2008 he was able to win another World Cup in Schonach in the Black Forest . Three more victories followed in Oslo, Lahti and Liberec that season . At the Norwegian Championships in Trondheim in 2008 , Tande won the national championship for the second time after 2006.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Liberec in 2009 he won the bronze medal with the team again after 2007. In the mass start he reached seventh place. In the Gundersen on the normal hill Tande only reached 19th place, on the large hill only 15th place. After the World Championships, Tande could not find his way back to his old strength and achieved medium to good placements in the World Cup, but only rarely podium places.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , Tande achieved fifth place in the team competition with Jan Schmid , Espen Rian and Magnus Moan. In the individual on the large hill he surprisingly reached sixth place again, from the normal hill only 17th. The start of the 2010/11 season was disappointing for Tande, as it took until January 2011 until he finished a World Cup again with a 30th place -Point could win.

After Tande was no longer appointed to the national team for the 2010/11 season , he decided to take a break and work as a fisherman at sea, partly due to a lack of motivation . Then he ended his career.

Tande lives in Trondheim today .
