Takk Anders! ♥

[skiijumpinng]

fannis retiring hit me like a ton of bricks, even tho it was expected and talked about for so many seasons

i will always remember him as the first ski jumper who really caught my eye in terms of his flying style, and i was absolutely amazed by his world record and i remember it like it was yesterday; when you really thought it can't go more than 250 meters, he proved everyone wrong just the next day

he was also one of the og norwegian pancakes in those ridiculous green jackets who kept winning every single team competition and was a vital part of the norwegian team, from the stupid vlogs in hotel halls to the top of the podiums

with every retirement of someone who has been in the world cup for so many years it feels like a part of it is changing, but the achievements and memories of those times will always stay

Sad to see another great athlete leave. All the best for him in the future.

FANNEMEL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE U KIDDIN ME

2, 9 and 18? ☺️

hii!! so first off, thank you for your questions <3

second off, these answers turned out pretty long, so sorry in advance for that :D & I also apologise for the eventual grammar errors!

2. what sport moment made you cry? (happy)

the moment I've cried the most by far was after I met Karl for the first time (and also last lol- I haven't been to a ski jumping comp ever since) back in Rasnov where we talked a lot & gave me his autograph, I was genuinely so happy!! And fun fact, I was just scrolling through the berkutschi Rasnov archives this Christmas and I randomly found a picture with me and Karl there and I started intensely sobbing again because I thought there wasn't any picture of us (I haven't taken none)🥹

9. what's your earliest/an early sports memory?

this is a pretty emotional question to me, so I'll tell the story of how I fell in love with ski jumping

if I remember correctly, it was early january. It all happened while I was still in my kindergarten days, so i was around 5 years old. my grandma came to pick me up because my parents weren't in the country. as I arrived home she let me turn on the TV ( my parents didn't allow me to do that) and the first thing I saw was someone on the inrun (i cant remember who it exactly was but i think either gregor or sevi). and I kept on watching. important to mention is that I, an eastern european girl, was attending a german kindergarten, and I instantly admired the German / Austrian ones and wanted to be like them. I also liked how Sevi's last name, Freund, translated as friend or Freitag's means friday (i was 5, please have pity for me 😭). my love for ski jumping only grew further, and i slowly started liking other ski jumpers too (the first non german jumpers favourites were pero and anders fannemel, hehe) :)

18. favourite friendship/bromance between athletes?

LELLINGER IS LOVE LELLINGER IS LIFE - of course🥹 but also geigenbichler & the friendship between anze lanisek & timi zajc <3

Anders got a bib with his name and the length of his world record jump 🥹😭

[omi-om]

I don't know if it's because the first retirement I witnessed was norwegian but somehow they hit me more (and this is like the 5th one since I started watching)
