Ski Jumping - Disciplines
Ski Jumping features events both in individual and team categories: Individual Large Hill, Individual Normal Hill, Individual Sky Flying, and events for teams.
- Individual Normal Hill
This event features a K-point between 75 to 99 meters in which each Ski jumper executes two jumps. K-point refers to the section where the landing hill starts to flatten out. This indicates the hill size and the calculation of points for the distance attained.
- Individual Large Hill
The mechanics of this event is relatively the same to that of the Individual Normal Hill, except that the K-point is larger than 100 meters.
- Ski Flying Hill
In this event, each Ski jumper takes two jumps on the Ski flying hill with a K-point of more than 185 meters.
- Team Event
In this category, teams consist of four members each. Each executes two jumps on the large hill.
In Ski Jumping competitions, points are given to the participants based on both distance and style. Distance is measured using measuring devices operated by separate distance judges. Every jump has a critical point which is the point to which all jumps are compared. Bonus points are given for jumps beyond the critical point and points are deducted for jumps before the critical point. Bonus and penalty points are given per meter.
Style is judged by 5 judges who can give up to 20 points for style. The lowest and highest of these 5 scorings are removed and the remaining points are added to the distance score. Style is determined by:
- A high and wide curve over the outrun
- Aerodynamics position in the air; Relaxed body position leaning forward over the Skis
- Smooth transition from flight to landing position
- Good telemark landing; If no telemark landing is used up to 4 points can be deducted. Up to 10 points are deducted for a fall.
Ski Jumping offers different events both for individuals and teams. Each of these follows a certain set of rules and mechanics that contestants should follow. It will be more enjoyable if you know the important points in these Ski Jumping Disciplines.

in 2008 there will be a demonstration sport where snowboarders jump from a ski jump hill and do acrobatics before landing. Possibly short skis will be used instead of snowboards. The techniques used will be borrowed from skydiving and snowboarding.
