Maren Lundby (born 7 September 1994) is a Norwegian ski jumper. She is one of the most successful ski jumpers, male or female, having won three consecutive World Cup overall titles (an all-time record shared with Adam Małysz), thirty individual World Cup wins, and gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics and the 2019 and 2021 World Championships.
Maren is also known as an advocate for gender equality in the sport. Because of her efforts, women are now allowed to jump on the large hill during the world championships.
Ski jumping career[]
Lundby represents the Kolbu KK ski club. She made her debut in the Continental Cup, the highest level in women's ski jumping at the time, on 12 August 2007 with a 56th place in Bischofsgruen. At age 14, she made history as the first female ski jumper in a World Championship, when she jumped with bib number 1 at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec. On 6 September 2010, she made the first jump when the new Midtstubakken in Oslo was opened. She landed on 87 meters.[1] 14 March 2019, Lundby won the first women's edition of Raw Air. 12 March 2020, Lundby won the second edition of Raw Air and also became the first woman to win the World Cup three years in a row. She is the first ski jumper to do so since Adam Małysz in 2001–2003. On 3 March 2021, Maren became the first female world champion on the large hill.
