Ski jumping is a winter sport where athletes ski down a ramp, known as a take-off ramp, and leap into the air to perform jumps. The goal is to achieve maximum distance while maintaining control and style during the flight. Competitors are judged based on their distance and the quality of their jump, which includes factors like body position and landing technique. The sport is typically held on large hills, with different categories based on the size of the jump. Olympic ski jumping events showcase the best athletes from around the world, and the sport has a rich history, dating back to the late 19th century in Norway.
