Noriaki Kasai (葛西紀明, Kasai Noriaki, born 6 June 1972) is a Japanese ski jumper. His many career achievements include a gold medal at the 1992 Ski Flying World Championships, winning the 1999 Nordic Tournament, individual silver at the 2014 Winter Olympics, and individual bronze twice at the 2003 Ski Jumping World Championships.

In 2016, Kasai was honoured with a Guinness World Records certificate for the most individual World Cup competition starts, not only in ski jumping, but in all World Cup disciplines run by the International Ski Federation.^[1] With a combined 629 World Cup starts (individual and team), Kasai has been competing for 30 seasons between 1988–89 and 2018–19, and consecutively since 1995–96.

Kasai also holds a world record number of appearances in ski jumping at the Winter Olympics, World Championships, and Ski Flying World Championships. He is the first athlete in history to participate at eight Winter Olympics,^[2] the oldest ski jumper to win a medal at the Olympics, the oldest World Cup individual competition winner, the oldest ski jumper to achieve a World Cup individual podium, and the oldest World Cup participant.^[3]^[4]

Career[edit]

1988: World Cup debut[edit]

Kasai made his World Cup debut on 17 December 1988 in Sapporo, Japan at the age of 16 reaching 31st place. A year later he performed in his first Nordic World Championships in Lahti, Finland.

1992: World champion[edit]

He won his first and to date only major championship at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 1992 in Harrachov, Czechoslovakia. He won after a second day of competition which was cancelled after strong winds and a crash of Christof Duffner (albeit also counting for world cup points). At that time he was among the world's top jumpers, known for his extraordinary style, holding his body almost flat between his skis.

1994: Olympic team medal[edit]

In 1994, he was a member of the Japanese national team that won a silver medal in the team large hill and finished 5th in the individual large hill at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. After breaking his shoulder he missed the entire 1994/95 season.

1999: Nordic Tournament[edit]

Kasai also won the prestigious ski jumping competition at the Holmenkollen Ski Festival and Nordic Tournament overall in 1999. He collected a total of seven medals at the Nordic World Championships, including two silver (team large hill: 1999, 2003) and five bronzes (individual normal hill in 2003; individual large hill in 2003; team large hill in 2007 and 2009; and mixed team normal hill in 2015). At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, he finished 8th on the large hill and 17th on the normal hill.

2014: Oldest Olympic medalist[edit]

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi he competed in a record seventh Olympics and took the silver medal in the large hill individual and the bronze in team large hill, becoming the oldest ski jumper ever to take a medal at the winter Olympics.

On 29 November 2014 Kasai became the oldest world cup winner when he shared the victory with Switzerland's Simon Ammann in Ruka, Finland. This has been his last win to date and he currently stands at 17 World Cup wins.

On 22 February 2015 Kasai won the bronze medal in FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015 at the mixed team event and became the oldest medalist at the Nordic world ski championships. He performed for a record 12th time in this competition.

2016: 500th World Cup start[edit]

On 4 March 2016 he was on a World Cup podium in Wisła at the age of 43 years and 272 days, which is a record for the oldest contestant to mount the podium in ski jumping history.^[5] On 17 March 2016 in Planica, he reached his 500th individual start in the World Cup.^[6]

2018 Olympics[edit]

Kasai finished 21st in the normal hill at the 2018 Winter Olympics.^[7]
