Tim Hug (born August 11, 1987 in Solothurn ) is a former Swiss Nordic combined athlete who also competed in ski jumping and cross-country skiing .
Career
Hug's first appearance with the juniors was in January 2003, in the same year he started in his first FIS races , both in Nordic combined and in ski jumping. The next year was mixed for him; while he clearly missed the top 30 at the Junior World Championships, he achieved sixth place in an FIS race. In addition, he started in ski jumping for the first time in the Continental Cup , where he was only 60th. Also in 2005 his performances remained consistently close to the twentieth place, at the Junior World Championships he was eighteenth in the sprint of the combination and twelfth with the team in ski jumping. In November 2005 Hug also competed in an FIS race for the first time in cross-country skiing. The year 2006 ended with some, but rather unsuccessful, starts in the B World Cup, but he finished fourth in an FIS race. He ended 2007 without a top 10 placement in the Nordic Combined, only in ski jumping he could be eighth in a jumping of the FIS Cup .
In 2008 Hug started with an eighth place in the Gundersen method in the B World Cup. Thanks to other good results, he was nominated for the first time for the Nordic Combined World Cup at the end of January , where he barely missed his first World Cup points. While at the end of the 2007/08 season he reached two podium finishes in the combined B-World Cup, he also took part in the Swiss cross-country skiing championship, where he was fourteenth in the sprint. In the summer GP Hug achieved again decent placements, so that he was allowed to start again at the 2008/09 season opener and came 21st.
On January 4, 2014 - in the absence of the world's best - he won his first World Cup competition in Tchaikovsky, Russia. It was the first World Cup victory for a Swiss combined athlete in almost 20 years.
Hug announced the end of his career in June 2019.
