The FIS Ski Flying World Championships is an international competition that showcases the sport of ski flying, a variant of ski jumping where athletes launch off large hills and soar through the air. Organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS), the event typically takes place every two years and features athletes from various countries competing for the title of world champion. During the championships, competitors are judged based on their distance and style, with points awarded for both aspects. The event is held on specially designed ski flying hills, which are larger than traditional ski jumping hills, allowing for longer flights and more thrilling performances.
