Ski Jumping
A Brief Overview:
A jumper's final score
has two components: distance and style. A jump to the K-point (the end
of the steepest part of the landing slope) will receive a score of 60
points. Jumps which are short of the K-point will earn fewer points while
jumps beyond it will earn more. Jumping beyond the K-point is more difficult
for a jumper because of the greater pressure of landing on a shallower
part of the slope.
A maximum of 20 points
are assigned for style. A jumper starts with 20 points from each judge
and deductions are made for every fault detected. the highest and lowest
judges' scores are thrown out and the rest added together for a maximum
of 60 points. A maximum of seven points can be deducted during flight
for ineffective takeoff, five points can be deducted for failing to execute
a telemark landing, insufficient or over bending of knees upon landing,
skis too wide apart, or any appearance of unsteadiness.
During a competition,
a jumper will execute three jumps. The first is a trial jump and is not
scored; the next two jumps count and will contribute equally to the jumper's
final score.
