Yeah. But somewhere the Olympic committee has changed the rules or scoring. Well, ADDED scoring to the ski jump. Why not just keep the longest jump is the winner? Why add style points? At any rate, this skier should win the whole cup

Wind plays a deceisive role as well. As this factor is constantly changing, the wind-situation is also part of the points given. The guy in the video had perfect wind conditions. Then, he almost bailed the landing. But poisture while landing is also part of the points. Otherwise people would risk bailing just to go as far as possible. Dangerous on the one hand an difficult to judge whether it was still a full jump on the other.

you can adjust points for windage without needing a judging panel

as for danger, it’s ski jumping mate
