FIS Ski Flying World Championships
The FIS Ski Flying World Championships is a ski flying competition organised by the International Ski Federation and held every two years. The event takes place on hills much larger than ski jumping hills, with K-point over 185 metres (607 ft). Unlike ordinary ski jumping, the Ski Flying World Champion is determined after four jumps. 40 jumpers qualify for the competition and jump the first round, 10 are eliminated, and the 30 remaining jumpers compete in the last three rounds. The person with most points combined after four jumps is declared the World Champion. In 2004, the FIS introduced a team event between national teams of four jumpers, with two jumps each.
