Birger Ruud (23 August 1911 – 13 June 1998) was a Norwegian ski jumper.

Born in Kongsberg, Birger Ruud, with his brothers Sigmund and Asbjørn, dominated international jumping in the 1930s, winning three world championships in 1931, 1935 and 1937. Ruud also won the Olympic gold medal in 1932 and 1936. He also was an accomplished alpine skier, winning a bronze medal in the combined at the 1935 world championships. Ruud won the Holmenkollen ski jumping competition in 1934 and shared the Holmenkollen medal in 1937 with Olaf Hoffsbakken and Martin P. Vangsli.

In 1943, during the German occupation of Norway, Ruud was committed to Grini concentration camp for expressing his anti-Nazi sentiments. After his release in 1944, he joined the Norwegian resistance movement. Impressively, he competed also in the 1948 Olympics, at age 36, winning the silver medal in ski jumping. This accomplishment he personally held in the highest regard. Twice he set ski jumping world records: 76.5 m (250.98 ft) in Odnesbakken in 1931, and 92 m (301.84 ft) in Planica in 1934.

Arne Scheie (born 7 January 1944) is a sports commentator, with football and ski jumping as his specialities.

He started working in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 1972, and started commenting the Four Hills Tournament in 1973. Over the years, he has been involved with eight Winter Olympics, attended over 30 Four Hills Tournaments and has commentated on well over 100 matches for the Norwegian national football team. Scheie has also commentated on cross-country skiing, biathlon, swimming and bandy for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.^{[citation needed][dated info]}

Arne Scheie is a part of the cultural landscape for many Norwegians, who have grown up with his commentary. Among others, he is known for his spontaneous outbursts to his colleague Jon Herwig Carlsen such as when Tommy Ingebrigtsen won world championship gold in ski jumping in Thunder Bay in 1995: "Can I kiss you, Jon?" Carlsen replied "Yes! Of course!" Another famous moment came during the FIFA World Cup 1998 when Norway beat Brazil 2-1 after a penalty from Kjetil Rekdal. Scheie was so excited by the goal that he credited it to "Kjetil Reknett, of Molde and Werder Bremen". Rekdal has never played for Werder Bremen. Despite that, Scheie is extremely knowledgeable, and has gained cult status in Norwegian football.
