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
. (Recent information from the
FIS
offices in
Switzerland
have had the K-points from 1924 to 1956 determined as shown below). In 1960, the
ski jump
hill was standardized to 80 meters. In 1964, a second ski jump, the
normal hill
at 70 meters (K90) was added along with the 80 meters (K120) large hill. The length of the large hill run in 1968 increased from 80 meters to 90 meters (K120). 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 (90 meters for the normal hill and 120 meters for the large hill, respectively) and have been that way ever since. For the
2006 Winter Olympics
, the normal hill was designated as HS106 (K95) while the large hill was designated as HS140 (K125).
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.
