Andreas "Andi" Goldberger (born 29 November 1972) is an Austrian former ski jumper.
In 1994 he became the first man in history to jump over 200 metres, but did not manage to stand.
He won the World Cup overall titles three times (1993, 1995, 1996), the Four Hills Tournament twice (1992/93, 1994/95), with multiple medals in the Nordic World Championships and Winter Olympics.[ citation needed ]
Despite his success at ski jumping, Goldberger preferred ski flying—a more extreme version of normal ski jumping, in which distances are far greater.[ citation needed ]
On 17 March 1994, during training for the Ski Flying World Championships on Velikanka bratov Gorišek in Planica, Slovenia, he recorded a jump of 202 metres (663 ft); [1] [2] this made him the first man to ever to jump over two hundred metres, but he touched the snow upon landing, thus making the jump invalid as an official world record (Finland's Toni Nieminen would later land a 203 m jump at the same event).[ citation needed ]
On 18 March 2000, he set the ski jumping world record distance at 225 metres (738 ft) on Velikanka bratov Gorišek in Planica, Slovenia [3] It stood for the next three years.
In 1997 Goldberger admitted to the use of cocaine, and was given a six-month ban from the Austrian Ski Association. As a result of that ban, in November 1997, he even declared he would, from that moment on, compete under the flag of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. [4] Yet, after reaching an agreement with the Austrian Ski Association, he continued competing for his native Austria.
Goldberger last World Cup appearance as a ski jumper was in Lahti on 6 March 2005 (49 place).
In 2006 he officially ended his career with his final jump as a test jumper in Kulm, Austria.
After ending his ski jumping career he immediately became an expert co-commentator on the Austrian national TV station ORF, where he still works today.

Bjørn Tore Wirkola is a Norwegian former ski jumper.
Ski flying is a winter sport discipline derived from ski jumping, in which much greater distances can be achieved. It is a form of competitive individual Nordic skiing where athletes descend at high speed along a specially designed takeoff ramp using skis only; jump from the end of it with as much power as they can generate; then glide – or 'fly' – as far as possible down a steeply sloped hill; and ultimately land within a target zone in a stable manner. Points are awarded for distance and stylistic merit by five judges. Events are governed by the International Ski Federation.
