Ski jumping originated in Norway and has been listed as a competition event since the first Winter Olympics in 1924.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics ski jumping competition will be held at the National Ski Jumping Center of Zhangjiakou Division, and 5 gold medals will be produced.
Unlike traditional snow sports, ski jumping is a sport that allows people to experience "flying".
As the basic technical points of ski jumping, air flight not only puts forward higher requirements on athletes' balance and control ability, but also requires athletes to have enough courage and courage.
During the flight, the athlete can reduce the wind resistance through the "V" posture, provide more lift, and control the balance of the body by swinging the arm.
The biggest feature of ski jumping is high, dangerous, fast, and difficult technical requirements, so the sport of ski jumping has not been promoted to the public.
