❄️ Jumps can reach over 250 meters on large hills
🛷 Skiers wear long, specially designed skis for lift and stability
🏆 Part of the Winter Olympics since 1924
🌬️ Wind and weather conditions significantly affect performance
🧠 Mental focus and aerodynamics are as important as physical ability
Athletes descend a ramp (inrun) and jump off the take-off table, aiming for maximum distance while maintaining good form. Judges score jumps based on distance and style points (body position, landing, and flight). Competitions are usually held over two rounds, and points are combined for final ranking. Wind compensation and gate factors are applied for fairness.
