It sounds strange but the judges have sat in the tower and judged the jump from a long distance.

What the TV audience has had full control over, the judges have had to decide on a single occasion when the jump took place live.

For a couple of years, especially at the summer competitions, the ski jumping has tried to make the VAR system work in a smooth way.

Just like in football, the criticism has been that it has taken too long and that the flow in the competition has disappeared.

- The problem has been that it has taken too long, says Daun about the review, which will primarily apply to the impact.

The decision is also welcomed in the larger ski jumping nation Norway.

- It is ultimately about the safety of athletes.

They put in a lot of energy and do it very well.

There has been a lack of a good tool for us judges to judge the jump, says Fis judge Tom Normann to NRK.

VAR was first used two weeks ago

Fis competition director for ski jumping, Sandro Pertile, welcomes the technology used in the World Cup for the first time in Klingenthal, Germany, two weeks ago.

- We are developing the system for the judges.

The idea is that they will take part in the streaming from one of the TV cameras on a simple screen and have the opportunity to watch the landing once again, says Pertile.

The back jump hopes to be corrected with cheating from the jumpers who hide bad shots, where the "wrong leg" for example comes down first, which gives an incorrect assessment of points.

- If you also sit at a bad angle, it is difficult for the judges to see, says NRK's ​​expert Anders Jacobsen.

Anders Daun does not believe that the introduction of VAR will lead to any changes in the results list.

- It will affect individual jumps but some jumpers have received a stamp.

Simon Ammann (40-year-old four-time Olympic champion) has been given a stamp to make fuselage landings.

I think that may have been in the back of some judges' minds.

Here, it will be exciting to see what the judges put on him now that the new technology is introduced, says SVT Sports expert Anders Daun.

SVT Sport recently met Sweden's foremost ski jumper, Frida Westman, in her training environment in Trondheim, Norway.
