My Take

Lamy-Chappuis has the kind of biography I find irresistible. Born in Montana, raised in France, and ultimately a French Olympic champion in Nordic combined, he embodies a dual identity most athletes never navigate. Nordic combined itself is a brutal hybrid, demanding the explosiveness of a ski jumper and the lungs of a cross-country skier, and he mastered both well enough to earn the Legion of Honour. Then comes the detail I love most: he became an airline pilot. A man who once launched himself off jumps now flies for real. That arc, from soaring on skis to soaring with wings, is simply too good to overlook.

Overview

Jason Lamy-Chappuis (born September 9, 1986) is a Franco-American former ski jumper and cross-country skier who has represented France in Nordic combined ski events between 2002 and 2015, then in the 2017-18 season. Born in the United States, where he first began competing in skiing events, Chappuis moved with his family to France as a child.
