No matter what, I think we all can agree that Daniel Andre Tande comeback was the highlight of this season. One year ago we were all anxiously waiting for any update on him (…if he’s alive). And now he’s ending the season with one individual win, one second place and a bronze medal in Ski Flying World Championships with his team. Hats off ❤️

my dear gregsy... i stopped sobbing, so i can finaly say something on here.

my number one. my main reason as to why i love ski jumping that much. i fantasised of his big comeback, i believed that he could do that, that he was still capable of it... so it's a bittersweet goodbye for me - goodbye? oh hell, i can't say goodbye to him...

i loved you as a little girl, and still do as a young women. i will never forget about you. my heart is just broken, but it will get better. i don't know what else to write, cause simply, i still feel like we are going to see him jumping this season.

i am going to miss you so much.

gregor, we will always love you. i wish you all the best.

First World Cup victories -> Norwegian men

Interviewer: who's your best friend among the other competitors?

Domen: from foreigners/people from other teams, i'd have to say Daniel Andre Tande - he has a very special character/personality

I: Why?

D: I dont know, we started at the similar time in the World Cup. He was better from the beginning and then we had the 'small rivalry' and at the end he's better again, but i'd say it because of the years of experience he has on me. This year's nasty fall was a shame and we were all very happy when we had the chance to see him at the airport (before he left slovenia). He's a very charismatic person, he's funny, he always has something interesting to say, but he will never reveal everything he knows, he will always keep some things a secret 'for the future'

Manager Clas Brede Bråthen admits that a tear fell when he learned that Daniel-André Tande had woken up and talked to his family. Later on Monday, they talked together on FaceTime. - There were some quick comments. He was like the boy we have become so fond of, Bråthen says to VG. He says that Tande’s mother organized the video call, so that they could see each other on FaceTime. His mother and girlfriend are currently at the hospital with him. “You must not think that you can get rid of me so easily”, was probably the first thing he said. With this a heavy load fell from my shoulders, says a clearly moved Clas Brede Bråthen. - It was very good for me with Daniel. He was probably still a little dizzy, but he expressed that it was nice to talk to me. It was good that Daniel was Daniel, and even from the hospital bed he had smiled, says Bråthten. Themanager was called from Slovenia’s ski association early Monday morning. - They reminded me that they had said that “it should go well”. Then I was told that Daniel had woken up and was talking. For me, a person who is so easily moved, I must admit that some tears fell, says Clas Brede Bråthen. - I can not fully praise the Slovenes, both the ski association and the medical apparatus. They have gone far beyond what we could expect. We are grateful for everything they have done, says the jump manager. The family of Daniel-André Tande sent out a press release earlier on Monday stating that “It was very good to come to the hospital and see that Daniel was awake and that he was himself. It has been painful and long days of waiting. But it is good to know that Daniel has been well taken care of.”

Bråthen emphasizes that Tande is not ready to jump again immediately, but that he is in good shape according to the conditions. The Norwegian jumper has suffered a broken collarbone and a punctured lung from his fall.

To NTB, Clas Brede Bråthen says that Tande has not seen the fall. "I do not need to see it until I am as old as you, Clas,” Daniel told me. Then I realized that it was good, old Daniel.

- Do you think Halvor aged 5 would be satisfied with Halvor aged 24?

Yeah, i imagine i would get some criticism on my landings, but apart from that i think he would be satisfied.
