Born on August 28, 1995, in Ruhpolding, Germany, Andreas Wellinger began skiing at a young age. Still, it wasn’t until he was eleven years old that he began to focus on ski jumping. By the time that he was seventeen, he had managed to secure a spot at the inaugural Winter Youth Olympic Games, which took place in Innsbruck, Austria. In the end, he managed to win a gold medal in the mixed team event.
That same year, he also made his debut at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup. Though he originally led after the first round, he later dropped to fifth place following the second round. Despite that, he eventually managed to finish on the individual podium twice in Engelberg, and Sochi.

Representing Germany for the second time, he triumphed at the event with a gold medal in the individual NH. From there, he also won a silver medal in the men’s individual LH jumping event. As part of Team Germany, he had also helped to win a silver in the team event.
Aside from his accomplishments at the Olympics, he had also won a gold medal at the 2017 World Championships earlier this season. In doing so, he would have also received a fair amount of prize money (though the exact amount has not been disclosed).
