Ski Jumping

Ski Jumping Rules

Scoring

Each skier is scored based on the distance covered and style of takeoff, flight and landing. They are awarded 60 points if they land on the K-line of the normal and large hills and 120 points in case of flying hills. For longer or shorter jumps, 2 points per meter are added or deducted in small hills, 1.8 points per meter in large hills and 1.2 points per meter in ski flying hills. Each of the five judges can award up to 20 points each to the skier based on his/her style of flight, landing, balance and good body position.

Low BMI

The skiers with low BMI (Body Mass Index) are not allowed to participate with the standard size skis. They are penalized with a shorter maximum ski length so that the aerodynamic lift they can achieve can be reduced.
