Why did you fall down in ski jumping?

Skiing on the platform is to reduce wind resistance. Because wind plays an important role in ski jumping, prone posture can reduce wind resistance by 28% and provide more lift. During the flight, athletes can control their body balance by swinging their arms. Slightly bending your legs like lunges can effectively reduce the strong impact on the human body.

Rules of ski jumping

In ski jumping, the headwind can improve the lift and bring advantages, and the tailwind can shorten the popular distance. Wind is an important uncertain factor in ski jumping, so the wind direction and speed of each jump in the competition will be measured, excluding headwinds and downwinds.

The competition is divided into two rounds. The first round starts from the reverse order of players' World Cup points or lottery, and the second round starts from the reverse order of players' scores. Distance score plus flight attitude score, boarding gate score and wind compensation score are the final scores of the players.

The scores of the two rounds add up to the final score. The main factors that determine the results of the competition are the sliding speed, the take-off opportunity, the take-off direction and the psychological quality of the players.
