Ski jumping at the Winter Olympics


Ski jumping has been included in the program of every Winter Olympic Games. From 1924 through to 1956, the competition involved jumping from one hill whose length varied from each edition of the games to the next.
Most historians have placed this length at 70 meters and have classified this as the large hill.. In 1960, the ski jump hill was standardized to 80 meters. In 1964, a second ski jump, the normal hill at 70 meters was added along with the 80 meters large hill. The length of the large hill run in 1968 increased from 80 meters to 90 meters. The team large hill event was added in 1988. By 1992, the ski jumping competitions were referred by their K-point distances rather than their run length prior to launching from the ski jump and have been that way ever since. For the 2006 Winter Olympics, the normal hill was designated as HS106 while the large hill was designated as HS140.
On April 6, 2011, the International Olympic Committee officially accepted women's ski jumping into the official Olympic program for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On February 11, 2014, Carina Vogt of Germany won the first gold medal for women's ski jumping at the Winter Olympic Games.
