Two-Time Olympian Casey Larson Announces Retirement from Competitive Ski Jumping

After more than a decade on the international stage, two-time Olympian Casey Larson of the Stifel U.S. Ski Jumping Team announced his retirement from competitive ski jumping.

Larson, who recorded one of the furthest jumps ever by an American man at 216.5 meters, was a four-time U.S. national champion, earned multiple national championship podium finishes and represented his country at the highest level of sport, including being named to Team USA at the 2018 and 2022 Olympic Winter Games and five World Championships. Known for his trademark mustache, Larson was instantly recognizable around the circuit and brought a positive attitude to the ski jumping community and competition. 

“Being an athlete representing the Stifel U.S. Ski Jumping Team and USA Ski Jumping and looking back on everything we achieved makes me extremely proud,” said Larson. “However, it is time for me to take a step back from competing and hang up the skis.”

As U.S. ski jumping continues its path forward, Larson expressed gratitude for those who have supported him along the way. “I am retiring with nothing but love for my teammates, coaches and staff who have made everything possible from day one,” he added.

While closing this chapter, Larson remains committed to the ski jumping community and looks forward to contributing to the sport beyond his time on the hill.
