TONI NIEMINEN

'Toni Nieminen' (born May 31, 1975 in Lahti) is a former Finnish ski jumper who competed from 1991 to 2004.
His biggest success came very early in his career, where he won three medals at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, earning two gold medals in the individual and team large hill events; and a bronze medal in the individual normal hill event. In the same year, Nieminen also won both the ski jumping event at the Holmenkollen ski festival and the ski jumping World Cup.
Later in his career, Nieminen didn't match his earlier accomplishments though he did become the first man in the world to jump over 200 meters at Planica in 1994.
