'''Georg Thoma''' ({{IPA|de|ˈɡeːɔʁk ˈtoːmaː|-|De-Georg Thoma.ogg}}; born 20 August 1937) is a retired German [[Nordic combined]] skier and ski jumper. He won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics, becoming the first non-Scandinavian athlete to do so, and was voted German Sportsman of the Year. At the 1964 Olympics he won a bronze medal and served as the Olympic flag bearer for Germany at the opening ceremony. He further won the world championships title in 1966. Thoma's strength in the Nordic combined was jumping. He was three times German champion in [[ski jumping]] (1960, 1961, and 1963). Additionally, he won the Nordic combined at the [[Holmenkollen ski festival]] from 1963 to 1966. For his Nordic combined successes, Thoma was awarded the [[Holmenkollen medal]] in 1964 (ahared with [[Veikko Kankkonen]], [[Eero Mäntyranta]], and [[Halvor Næs]]).<ref name=sr />
Thoma is the uncle of the ski jumper [[Dieter Thoma]]. After retiring from competitions he worked as a postman in his hometown and later as a television commentator. He was one of the first German winter athletes to make his living from sponsorship.<ref name=sr>{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/th/georg-thoma-1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418135437/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/th/georg-thoma-1.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2020-04-18}}</ref>
