[2] Anders Haugen was the first and, as of 2022, only American to win an Olympic medal for ski jumping.

In 1911 Anders Haugen set a world record of 46m (152 feet) on Curry Hill in Ironwood, Michigan while winning the National Championship.

Haugen and his brothers later moved to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin and then Frisco, Colorado.

On 12 September 1974, Anders Haugen came to Norway as an 85-year-old and was given the bronze medal by Anna Maria Magnussen, Thorleif Haug's youngest daughter.

He died at Redlands Community Hospital in San Bernardino, California on April 14, 1984, of kidney failure, and had been suffering from prostate cancer.
