Ski Jumping

Ski jumping is a winter sport where athletes ski down a ramp, known as a take-off, and launch themselves into the air. They aim to impress judges and achieve long distances while maintaining a stable and aerodynamic position in flight. Athletes are scored based on their style, technique, and distance traveled. Ski jumping is typically featured in competitions, including the Winter Olympics, and involves specific equipment like long skis and a specialized suit. The sport combines elements of speed, skill, and precision, showcasing the athletes' ability to control their bodies while airborne.
