Norwegians pioneered this high-flying winter sport in the 19th century. The mechanics of ski jumping developed over the years, with athletes adapting the bent-upper-body, forward lean and “V” ski shape by the modern era. Jumpers are evaluated based on distance traveled and style performed, both in the air and upon landing.
