Ski Jumping

Normal Hill Individual

The normal hill individual event begins with a qualification jump on the day prior to competition. The 15 top-ranked ski jumpers on the World Cup circuit are pre-selected and do not necessarily have to participate in the qualification event. The remaining athletes must rank in the top 35 to receive a start. There are two rounds of jumps. The first round has 50 starters (15 pre-qualified and 35 qualified) with only the top 35 skiers moving on to the final round. The starting order for the second round of competition is in reverse from the first round, leaving the best jumps for the end

Large Hill Individual

The large hill individual event follows the same format as the normal hill individual competition except it is held on the large hill. Most World Cup events occur on the large hill with only one or two normal hill competitions occurring throughout the season.

Large Hill Team

In this event, each team is comprised of four athletes and there are two competition rounds. In the first round, one skier from each team jumps. Then, the second skier from each team jumps. Then the third, followed by the fourth. In the second round, only the top eight teams from the first round compete. Similar to the individual events, the less proficient jumpers go first and the best jumpers go last. The team with the highest total score over all eight jumps wins.
