Sverre Stenersen

Sverre Stenersen (18 June 1926 – 17 December 2005) was a Norwegian Nordic combined skier who dominated the event throughout the 1950s.

Stenersen won the Nordic combined event at the national championships in 1954–58 and at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1955, 1956 and 1959.

In 1955 he received the Holmenkollen medal, shared with King Haakon VII, Hallgeir Brenden, and Veikko Hakulinen.

In the late 1940s, seeking better training conditions, he moved to the Oslo area and worked there as a lumberjack to earn a living.

He retired after placing seventh at the 1960 Winter Olympics and for several years ran a sport store in Målselv.
