Ski jumping




Ski jumping is an olympic sport.
Ski jumping was in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1924 (nineteen twenty-four) at the first edition in Chamonix.
Ski jumping is a sport in which the skijumper goes down an inrun with a take-off ramp, attempting to go as far as possible.
Today, the best teams are Norway, Austria, Finland, Japan and Russia.
The best ski jumper of the world is Gregor Shlierenzauer, an Austrian who is only 18.
It's a very attractive sport but not in France, it's less dangerous than downhill skiing but it's more impressive and beautiful!!!
