Jan Andreas Schmid (born 24 November 1983) is a Norwegian former nordic combined skier, of Swiss origin.{{cite news |last=Bugge |first=Mette |date=25 October 2006 |title=Blir norsk – må betale 120 000 kr. |url=http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/sport/skisport/Blir-norsk---ma-betale-120-000-kr-6528088.html |newspaper=Aftenposten |access-date=8 March 2016 |language=no }} He won two medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec with a silver in the 10 km individual normal hill event and a bronze in the 4 x 5 km team event. Competing two Winter Olympics for Switzerland, he earned his best finish of fourth in the 4 x 5 km team event at Turin in 2006. Schmid also competed in two World Championships for Switzerland. At the 2010 Winter Olympics for Norway, he finished fifth in the 4 x 5 km team event.
Background
Change of nationality
The circumstances of Schmid's transfer from the Swiss to the Norwegian Ski Federation are unusual and were discussed at the International Ski Federation Council meeting in 2006. The Swiss ski federation required that Schmid pay a transfer fee of 120,000 Norwegian kroner (approximately US$23,000) as compensation. Transfer fees of this kind are unheard of in the ski sport. The consequences of not paying the fee would have left Schmid in quarantine for a year. It was also a matter of some urgency for Schmid due to the legal complications that could arise if he did not change his nationality before his 23rd birthday.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}
Family
Schmid's mother, Ruth Schmid, is the leader of the Nordic combined committee in the Norwegian Ski Federation. Jan's five years younger brother, Tommy Schmid, is currently on the Swiss national ski team. He also has a nine years younger sister, Marit Schmid. Their father, Rudolf, is a ski-trainer in Jan and Tommy's skiteam Sjetne IL. The entire family are active in the sport of orienteering. They are all members of a club called Trollelg Orienteeringclub, which is the local club of southern Trondheim.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}
