He is the [2002 Olympic champion in men's curling](/source/Curling_at_the_2002_Winter_Olympics). ## Curling career In his third [World Junior Curling Championships](/source/World_Junior_Curling_Championships) in [1983](/source/1983_World_Junior_Curling_Championships), Davanger, playing second [Pål Trulsen](/source/P%C3%A5l_Trulsen)'s Norwegian team picked up a silver medal, losing to [Canada](/source/Canada)'s [John Base](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Base&action=edit&redlink=1) in the final. In [1986](/source/1986_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), Davanger played in his first [World Curling Championships](/source/World_Curling_Championships) playing third for [Tormod Andreassen](/source/Tormod_Andreassen), and they finished in sixth place. Later that year, the team picked up a bronze at the [1986 European Curling Championships](/source/1986_European_Curling_Championships). Davanger's next success would come at the [1992 Winter Olympics](/source/1992_Winter_Olympics), when curling was a demonstration sport. Davanger, now playing second for Andreassen would bring home the silver medal for Norway, much to the delight of his coach [Forest Juziuk](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Forest_Juziuk&action=edit&redlink=1). After a couple of poor performances at the World Championships, Davanger moved to play second for his old junior skip Pål Trulsen. Their first World Championships was in 1999 when they finished in fifth. 2000 was no better, when they finished in 7th place. Finally in 2001 Norway got a break, picking up the bronze medal. They would then go on to win the gold medal at the [2002 Winter Olympics](/source/2002_Winter_Olympics)[1] followed by a silver at the World Championships that year. Since then, the team has had some success. They have finished no worse than fourth place at the Worlds or the European Championships. They picked up a bronze at the Worlds in 2003, a bronze at the European Championships in 2004 and a gold at the European Championships in 2005. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Olympic results](https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/da/flemming-davanger-1.html) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20121104025806/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/da/flemming-davanger-1.html) November 4, 2012, at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) ## External links - [Flemming Davanger](https://results.worldcurling.org/Person/Details/799) at [World Curling](/source/World_Curling) - [Flemming Davanger](https://www.olympics.com/en/athletes/flemming-davanger) at [Olympics.com](/source/International_Olympic_Committee) - [Flemming Davanger](https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/102064) at [Olympedia](/source/Olympedia) - [Flemming Davanger](https://intersportstats.com/athletes/3000401461) at InterSportStats v t e Olympic champions in men's curling Demonstration 1932: Burns, Bowman, Pow, Willis (CAN) 1988: E.
