Katharina Schmid (née Althaus, born 23 May 1996) is a German ski jumper. She is a seven-time world champion, including one individual title and six team titles, as well as a two-time Olympic silver medalist, making her one of the most decorated athletes in the history of ski jumping.

At the 2023 World Ski Championships in Planica, Schmid made history as the first and only ski jumper –male or female– to win at least four medals in a single edition of the championships.

In May 2023, she married Patrick Schmid, the brother of Nordic combined athlete Julian Schmid.

Career

She has competed at World Cup level since the 2011/12 season. She finished 2nd in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 World Cup overall, and won individual silver medals at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics.

She became the mixed team ski jumping world champion together with her German teammates Carina Vogt, Richard Freitag, and Severin Freund in Falun at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2015. She took her first World Cup win on 12 February 2017 in Ljubno.

At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2023 in Planica she won medals in all four disciplines (two Individual and two team events), three gold and one bronze medal.
