Ski jumping is a winter sport where athletes ski down a take-off ramp and jump into the air, aiming to cover the longest distance possible. Competitors are judged based on their distance and style, with points awarded for both aspects. The sport requires a combination of speed, technique, and precision to achieve optimal performance.
The jumps are performed on specially designed hills, which vary in size and difficulty. Athletes wear long, lightweight skis and a jumpsuit to reduce air resistance. Ski jumping is featured in major competitions, including the Winter Olympics and the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup.
