Ski jumping is not for the timid or faint hearted.


Competitors race down the jumping ramp at speeds of up to 130 kph, then fly for up to ten seconds covering a distance of more than 200 meters and hopefully land on their feet – or in hospital.

Our colleague Daniel Math explains the fascination  with this daredevil sport.
