Johan Remen Evensen, born on 16 September 1985, is a Norwegian former ski jumper and a two-time world record holder in ski flying, with a peak distance of 246.5 metres in 2011. A late bloomer, he made his World Cup debut in the 2008 to 09 season at the age of 23, took his first World Cup podium in Pragelato on 14 December 2008 and won his first World Cup competition in Vikersund on 12 February 2011, the day after his record jump. He was born in Alsvåg, grew up partly in Molde and jumped for Molde og Omegn IF before joining Kollenhopp in eastern Norway. At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Liberec in 2009 he won silver in the team large hill. He retired just before the 2012 Ski Flying World Championships, citing a persistent problem keeping his weight down.
