The Norwegian Olympic Committee uncovered an error in the official jumping results of the 1924 Winter Olympics which had placed Haugen in fourth place, rather than in the bronze-medal position he actually deserved. Last month, Haugen, a resident of Yucaipa, Ca., was presented with the bronze medal he should have won during the first Winter Olympic Games held in Chamonix, France, in 1924. The first U.S. nordic medal in 50 years of Olympic ski competition was presented to Haugen by Ame Mollen, president of the Norwegian Olympic Committee, during a ceremony at the Holmenkollen Museum outside Oslo, Norway. The error in the 1924 jump scoring was discovered by Norwegian Thoralf Strom-sta- d during a reunion of the 1924 Norwegian Olympic Team this past winter. Stromstad won two silver medals in 1924, and his teammate, Thorlief Haug, now deceased, had been credited with the bronze medal finish in the jump. The correction of a mistake in addition in the results now places Haug in fourth place. Haugen, a member of the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame, was a four-tim- e national jumping champion during the 1920s in addition to his Olympic record. He and his brother Lars, also a leading U.S. jumper, were instrumental in developing interest in jumping in the Lake Tahoe area. The brothers coached many national champions, including Wayne Poulsen, father of current U.S. Ski Team member Sandra .
