Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics - Ski jumping

The Winter Olympics are here, and that means Ski jumping is back on our screens!


You can view the schedule here. Ski jumping is on from 5-16 Feb 2026.

What is Ski jumping?
In the individual events, a trial round is conducted before the final to determine the starting order for the competition. The final consists of two jumps. All 50 athletes take part in the first jump; only the top 30 athletes from the first jump advance to the second jump. The final rankings are determined by adding the scores of both jumps.

In the men’s super team competition, each NOC lines up four athletes divided into four groups of one. The event consists of three jumps a trial round and two competition rounds. The top eight teams from the second jump advance to the final. In the mixed team event, each NOC picks a team of two women and two men. The event consists of two jumps and the athletes are divided into four groups. After the first jump, the top eight teams participate in the final jump. In all disciplines, points are awarded based on the length and style of the jump as evaluated by the judges.

Very brief history of Ski jumping
Ski jumping debuted on the Olympic programme at the Olympic Winter Games Chamonix 1924 with the men's large hill ski jump. The men's normal hill ski jump was introduced at Innsbruck 1964, followed by the men's team event at Calgary 1988, the women's normal hill ski jump at Sochi 2014, and the mixed team event at Beijing 2022. An individual women's large hill event and the men’s super team event will be introduced at Milano Cortina 2026.

Great to see the women have another event but I'm confused why the men have 2 team events (what is the difference?)+mixed team while the women only have the mixed team event.
No athletes from Team GB competing in Ski Jumping this Olympics.:frown:
There’s a ski jumping final on at the moment. Norway are 1-2-3. Don’t understand the scoring system as it seems to be more than raw distance going on here but we will see.
After the first runs it’s Norway top from Slovakia

I watched that in the ski jumping break.looked decent,

ski jumping is back on now, the women’s normal hill second round, and final round. They are going in reverse from run 1 so no talk of medals for a while

Traseruud takes the lead for Norway, 5 left
Huge jump of 100m for Austrias Lisa Eder, she now leads
Kvandal for Norway now. Not as big, Eder remains p1. 3 jumpers left.
Muryama for Japan. P3 after round 1. Also jumps 100m, with her R1 advantage she takes the lead from Eder. Garunteed a medal
Prevc from Slovakia or Slovenia. Can’t tell the flags apart. Shorter jump than muryama but is in the lead. 1 jumper left from Norway
Stroem from Norway. This will be close. Huge distance. But wind speed impacts this. She does it. Gold for Norway!
