The competitions include the normal hill competitions, which skiers reach distances of around 360 feet, as well as large hill competitions in which skiers jump to 430 feet. Also, there are flying hill competitions. The sport first made its presence known at the Winter Olympics in 1924 with the large hill competition being added later.
