Career

[edit]

Granerud made his Ski Jumping World Cup debut in 2015 and got his best result to win the World Cup event in Kuusamo/Ruka in November 2020. Granerud was part of the team that won the FIS Junior World Championship in 2015, together with Joacim Ødegård Bjøreng, Phillip Sjøen and Johann André Forfang.[1] From the 2018–19 season, he's been a part of the national team.[2]

On 11 February 2016, He set his unofficial personal best in Vikersund as a trial jumper when he jumped 240 metres.[3][4] Two years later in Planica he set his official personal best at 233 metres.

2020/21 World Cup

[edit]

On 29 November 2020, Granerud took his first ever World Cup podium by winning in Kuusamo.[5] At the following weekend, Granerud would win both competitions in Nizhny Tagil, gaining enough points for the leader's jersey.[6] In Planica he would go on to win a silver medal, in the individual competition at the Ski Flying World Championships, and a gold medal in the team competition.[7][8] The last double header of 2020 would see Granerud win both competitions in Engelberg, making him the first Norwegian to win five World Cup competitions in a row.[9] At the Four Hills Tournament, Granerud finished fourth overall. He also took his first podium in the Four Hills by finishing second in the new year's competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.[10]

The first win of 2021 would come in Titisee-Neustadt, where Granerud won the Sunday competition.[11] At the last weekend of January, Granerud won both competitions at Willingen. He won the Willingen Six, with 41 points to countryman Daniel Andre Tande.[12] The following weekend, Granerud would win both competitions in Klingenthal, therefore extending his lead to over 400 points in the overall World Cup.[13] He would win a week later in Zakopane, and was announced the winner of the overall World Cup on 4 March, due to some competitions being cancelled.[14]
