Ski Jumping

Ski jumping is a winter sport in which athletes ski down a take-off ramp, jump off a hill, and soar through the air before landing on a ramp below. The goal is to achieve the longest jump distance while also demonstrating style and technique during the jump. Competitors are judged on both distance and the quality of their jump, including the take-off, flight posture, and landing. Ski jumping events are typically held on specially designed hills, which vary in size, and are featured in competitions such as the Winter Olympics and World Championships. The sport emphasizes both physical skill and mental focus, requiring athletes to combine speed, precision, and aerial control.
