Best Answer

Ski jumping is a winter sport where athletes ski down a ramp and launch themselves into the air, trying to jump as far as possible. In competitive ski jumping, athletes are judged on distance and style, with the longest jump winning. Skiers use specialized equipment and techniques to maximize their distance and score points.
