Career
During the 2022–23 FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup, Østvold won the winter overall 1079 points. He had 12 podium finishes, including six victories.[1] During the summer of 2024 he lost several sponsors, and had to begin working night shifts at a hotel to raise funds for his ski jumping career.[2]
He was unable to compete at the 2025 FIS Ski Jumping Grand Prix due to his suit being two centimeters too big on one upper arm.[3] He represented Norway at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2026 and won a bronze medal in the team event.[4][5]
