Jacob Tullin "Tulla" Thams (April 7, 1898 – July 27, 1954) was a Norwegian Olympian. He won the first Olympic ski jumping gold medal in 1924, and became the second person to medal in both the Winter and Summer Olympics in 1936 as a member of the silver medal-winning Norwegian 8-metre sailing team. Thams also won the individual large hill at the 1926 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti, earned the Holmenkollen medal in 1926 (the first true ski jumper to do so), and would develop the Kongsberger technique in ski jumping (along with fellow Norwegian Sigmund Ruud) that would be the standard until it was superseded by the Daescher technique in the 1950s.
