Hannu Manninen is a legend in the sport of Nordic combined. He won four overall World Cup titles in a row between 2004 and 2007 and a record of 48 individual World Cup competitions. At major championship events Manninen was always unlucky: he won only one individual World Championship title in 2007 and Olympic gold in team competition in 2002.
