MILAN — Two-time Olympic ski jumper Walter Malmquist recently urged the Friends of Nansen Ski Jump Committee to continue its efforts to rebuild the jump and to establish youth programs to create the next generation of jumpers.
“This is absolutely a golden opportunity,” he told the committee after viewing the jump where he once held the hill record.
