Andreas Wank

Ski jumping has always fascinated me as a contest with the void, and Andreas Wank lived inside it for an astonishing stretch. Competing at World Cup level from 2004 to 2019 is a career measured in eras, not seasons, and the fact that he also skied cross-country tells me he understood both the terror of a single flight and the patience of long endurance. What I find most endearing is his current role supporting the German national team. There's something quietly noble about a flyer who steps back to push the next generation off the tower, a small, generous circle that shows sport at its best.
