Daniel Huber, 2022 Olympic Team Champion, Retires from Ski Jumping at 32

He cites a new focus on family following injury disruptions.

Overview

  • He announced his decision on Friday, concluding a top-level career that featured three World Cup victories.
  • His final major success came at Planica on March 24, 2024, where he won the event and claimed the small crystal globe for ski flying.
  • A knee operation before the 2024/25 season limited his competition schedule and was followed by a brief September 2025 return at the Continental Cup in Hinterzarten.
  • Austria head coach Andreas Widhölzl said a World Cup comeback was likely possible but called the decision understandable given the strength in depth at the top of the field.
  • Huber shared the news on Instagram, writing that it was time to let go and make room for something new.
