Ski jumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (573 words)
Ski jumping is a winter sport in which skiers go down a hill with a take-off ramp (the jump), attempting to go as far as possible.
In addition to the separate sport of ski jumping, with the three events of "normal hill", "large hill", and "team competition", ski jumping is one of two elements in Nordic combined.
Ski jumping is popular among spectators and TV audiences in Scandinavia and Central Europe.
Olympic Memorable Moments: Happy Harada (482 words)
Ski jumping may be popular in Japan and Norway, but it's pretty rare when the sport grabs headlines in the United States, even when the Winter Olympics are going on.
It was the worst jump of anyone on the top-eight teams, gave Germany the gold medal, and left Japan with the silver.
After winning numerous world cup events and a world championship, Harada returned to the Olympics four years later—this time in front of his home country at Nagano.
