A celebration was held Saturday for ski jumper Noriaki "The Legend" Kasai to commemorate his achievements in a career spanning nearly 30 years.
Kasai, who is set to compete in a record eighth consecutive Winter Olympics next month, was honored by about 600 guests at the event hosted by the Austrian Ski Federation.
Among those honoring the 45-year-old were Austrians Andreas Goldberger, the 1994 Olympic bronze medalist and three-time overall World Cup champion, and Gregor Schlierenzauer, who boasts 53 World Cup crowns.
