Career

During the 2022–23 FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup, Østvold won the winter overall 1079 points. He had 12 podium finishes, including six victories. During the summer of 2024 he lost several sponsors, and had to begin working night shifts at a hotel to raise funds for his ski jumping career.

He was unable to compete at the 2025 FIS Ski Jumping Grand Prix due to his suit being two centimeters too big on one upper arm. He represented Norway at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2026 and won a bronze medal in the team event.
