About Benjamin Oestvold
Norwegian ski jumper (Lensbygda Sportsklubb) with a full World Cup, Continental Cup and Ski Flying World Championships schedule through the 2025-26 season. Faced significant financial hardship during the 2024-25 season, losing roughly EUR17,000 in personal sponsorship and working night shifts as a hotel watchman around the Four Hills Tournament, even launching an online funding campaign to keep competing -- he still finished 13th overall at that Four Hills Tournament, including 6th at the Bischofshofen finale, and earned over EUR8,500 in tour bonuses.
Notable detail beyond the tag: his 2024-25 season involved a genuine financial-hardship story -- crowdfunding and working night shifts to stay competitive -- that isn't captured by 'talent' alone. No Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic selection was found in his FIS results.
Sponsors: Fischer (skis)

- Ski Jumping
FIS athlete-biography 'Skis' field lists Fischer (bespoke competition ski-jumping equipment; retail range shows only RC1/Speedmax cross-country skis -- see Products id 298 notes).
Ski jumping race ski from Fischer's ski jumping athlete roster, distinct from the brand's existing alpine and cross-country race-ski entries. Starting the 2025-26 season, Fischer Sports' ski jumping skis carry a co-branding partnership with the unrelated German fastening-technology company 'fischer Group', featuring the fischer Group's 'DuoPower' anchor-product branding on the skis alongside the Fischer Sports logo - this is a sponsorship/branding tie-up, not a new ski model name.
