Matti Nykänen


 

Matti Nykänen (born July 17, 1963 in Jyväskylä, Finland) is a Finnish ski jumper, and inarguably one of the greatest in that sport, winning five olympic medals (four golden), 15 world championships medals (six golden) and 22 Finnish championships medals (13 golden). He won gold and silver in 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, and was the first ever to win medals on both hills in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. In 1986 he flew 191 metres in Planica, which was a world record until 1987, when Piotr Fijas (Poland) flew 194 metres, again in Planica.
