Ski jumping

Ski jumping is a winter sport where skis

are jumped from a ramp.
The goal is to jump as far and at the
same time beautiful as possible.

Ski jumping is mainly practiced

individually.
There are also country competitions in
which four jumpers per country
compete.

Ski jumping is mainly a male sport.

More and more competitions are being
organized for women, but women's
jumping does not yet have an Olympic
status.
Ski jumping is mainly a winter sport,
but it is also practiced on an artificial
surface in summer.

The best ski jumpers of all time are the

fin Matti Nykänen, the pole Adam
Malysz and the fin Janne Ahonen.
The last two are still jumping

in this sport you have to get off a ramp

on two skis and in a kind of stooped
position with your hands back,

the moment you are at the huge ramp

you drop off
and when you are in the air you keep
your skis in a V-shape until you are
almost out of the air then you do not
keep your legs (or skis) together

It has been an Olympic Sport since

1924.
