Ski Jumping began in Norway in the 1860s when a man named Sondre Norheim, considered the father of ski jumping, jumped 30 meters without poles over a rock. Shortly afterwards, the first ski jumping competition was held in the town of Trysil in Norway. Click on the 'Ski Jumping' link below to read about the history from the official Olympic website.
Ski jumping started some time in the 1860's. it was Sondre Norheim of Norway who invented it cause he screwed up while skiing and jumped a rock. So ya that's how ski jumping started.By the way if you are reading this Sean, what's up? Doin some stuff? Crzy stuff? Chris-like stuff? ya ok see you later.
Skiing started as a means of transportation. By it's most basic definition of riding across ground on two sticks, evidence suggests Cro-Magnon man skied. It continued to be used for utilitarian purposes for a long time.
Recreational skiing, or the sport of skiing, started developing when the Norwegians held competitions within their military. As civilians became enthralled with the sport, downhill skiing became more popular than the usual cross country skiing. The 1924 Olympics helped with skiing's popularity, and the invention of the chair lift in 1936 increased participation vastly.
Ski jumping was created by Olaf Rye when he was trying to boost the confidence of his men
