Ski Jumping requires a finely tuned technique, a perfect sense of timing and not least, bravery. The competitors are striving for maximum distance without forsaking style or a telemark landing for which they are scored.
Normal Hill
Two competition rounds take place on the 90m hill with a total score considering both distance and style.
Large Hill
Two competition rounds take place on the 120m hill with a total score considering both distance and style.
Team Event
Team scores are determined by adding all the results of each team’s four competitors over two rounds. This event normally takes place on the large ski jumping hill.
Ski Flying
At present there are five Ski Flying hills hosting events where the competitors reach distances of around 200m.
