Battle of Honey Springs

Maren Lundby (born 7 September 1994) is a retired Norwegian ski jumper. She is one of the most successful ski jumpers in the history of the sport, having won three consecutive World Cup overall titles (an all-time record shared with Adam Małysz), thirty individual World Cup competitions, and gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics and the 2019 and 2021 World Championships.

Lundby 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.^{[citation needed]}

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, Lundby became the first female world champion on the large hill.

In October 2021, Lundby withdrew from the 2022 Winter Olympics and said she had difficulties losing weight and did not feel she could perform at the top level.^[2]

She was awarded the Holmenkollen Medal in 2021.^[3]
