List of the longest ski jumps

Anders Fannemel holds the official world record of 251.5 m (825 ft), as of 2016

Dimitry Vassiliev unofficially has the longest ever jump of 254 m (833 ft), as well as the summer world record of 147.5 m (484 ft), both as of 2016

Vikersundbakken in Vikersund, Norway, where the current world record stands

Daniela Iraschko-Stolz holds the women's world record of 200 m (660 ft), as of 2016

Olaf Rye, who made the first recorded ski jump of 9.5 m (31 ft) in 1808

Werner Lesser was the first to set a summer world record, with 41 m (135 ft)

Ski jumping is a winter sport in which athletes compete on distance and style in a jump from a ski jumping hill. The sport has traditionally focused on a combination of style and distance, and it was therefore early seen as unimportant in many milieus to have the longest jump.^[1] The International Ski Federation (FIS) in particular has largely been opposed to the inflation in hill sizes and setting of distance records. No world records have therefore been set at Olympic, World Championship, Holmenkollen Ski Festival or Four Hills Tournament events, as these have never been among the largest hills in the world.

Since 1936, when the first jump beyond 100 metres (330 ft) was made, the discipline of ski flying – an offshoot of ski jumping – has produced all the world records. As of 2016, the official world record for the longest ski jump is 251.5 metres (825 ft), set by Anders Fannemel at Vikersundbakken in Vikersund, Norway. At the same event and on the same day, Dimitry Vassiliev landed a jump of 254 metres (833 ft) but fell upon landing; his jump is unofficially the longest ever made^[2] and he also holds the summer world record on plastic with 147.5 metres (484 ft), set at the Russian National Championships on 15 October 2016 in Sochi, Russia.

History

Ski jumping originated in Norway, and has been practiced since time immemorial, using handmade temporary hills.^[3] The first record is credited to Olaf Rye, a soldier who set up a show spectated by his fellow soldiers in 1808, reaching 9.5 metres (31 ft) in Eidsberg, Norway. This small hill was probably near Eidsberg church, possibly at the farm Lekum.^[4]

Sondre Norheim, credited as the 'father' of modern skiing,^[5] made the second official record at 19.5 metres (64 ft) in 1868. Tim Ashburn says in his book The History of Ski Jumping that Norheim's longest jump on the circular track in Haugli ground in 1868 should have been measured at 31.5 metres (103 ft),^[6] but that newspapers in Christiania reported that the length "was a little exaggerated", so the official record is everywhere written as 19.5 m.

The sport quickly spread to Finland, the United States and Canada, where some of the subsequent records were set.^[7] Early jumping competitions were only scored by style, and it was seen as disruptive to attempt to jump further.^[1] Not until 1901 was a scoring system for distance introduced.^[8] With the construction of Bloudkova Velikanka in Planica, Yugoslavia, in 1934,^[9] the separate discipline of ski flying was introduced, which is essentially an 'extreme' version of ski jumping.

With one exception, all of the world records for distance have been set on five of the world's six ski flying hills, of which five remain in use.^[10] In 1936, Josef "Sepp" Bradl was the first to surpass the 100 metres (330 ft) mark, landing a jump of 101.5 metres (333 ft).^[11] The FIS was long opposed to ski flying as a whole, and it has never been included in the Olympic or Nordic World Ski Championships. However, since 1972, the FIS Ski Flying World Championships has been a mainstay event, and ski flying event are also part of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup calendar. The first to officially reach 200 metres (660 ft) was Toni Nieminen in 1994, by landing a jump of 203 metres (666 ft); at the time, ski jumpers did not receive distance points for the part of the jumps exceeding 191 metres.^[12]

The distance of a ski jump is measured from the end of the 'table' (the very tip of the 'inrun' ramp) to halfway between the athletes' feet when they touch ground. To qualify, the jump must be made in a sanctioned competition, or official trial or qualification runs for these, with a system to control the actual length. To win a competition, a jumper needs both distance and style, the latter of which is achieved by attaining a proper Telemark landing; therefore jumpers are not motivated to jump as far as possible, only as far necessary to attain a good landing. Jumps are invalid if the jumper falls, defined as touching the ground with his hands or body before reaching the fall line. Originally, jumps were measured in alen, but this has since been replaced by metres, with an accuracy of half a metre. Some old United States and Canadian records were recorded in feet. Traditionally, people would stand along the hill for every metre, and a crew member would raise their hand if the jumper landed on their metre. Today this is done with camera technology.^[13]

* Davos (2 Mar 1913) – many regard T. Knudsen's 48 m (157 ft) jumps as world records, although R. Omtvedt already set a new world record of 51.5 m (169 ft) on 16 Feb 1913 in Ironwood. This is most likely due to Omtvedt jumping as a professional at that time.

Invalid world records

If a jumper touches the ground with their hands, body, or falls before reaching the outrun line, the jump is deemed invalid and thus not listed as an world record. Furthermore, jumps landed during non-competition training rounds or hill tests are not recognized as official world records. Distances set by test jumpers (or "V jumpers") during competition rounds are deemed official.

Notes

Blybergbakken, Trondheim (1890/92) – Gustav (or Gunnar) Bye from Norway supposedly jumped 30 m (98 ft). Some declared it a world record, albeit a year before Mikkjel Hemmestveit jumped further. Doubts remain about measure cheating. Unsourced data.
Levanger (21/22 Mar 1891) – Bye, above, supposedly jumped 33 metres (108 ft) whilst competing for a trophy awarded by King Oscar II. Unsourced data.
Revelstoke (1916) – Nels Nelsen landed a world record jump of 55.8 m (183 ft) during training; the latter is why it is officially not recognized as a world record.
Salt Lake City (Jan 1931) – Alf Engen landed a world record jump of 77.4 m (254 ft), but according to Harold "Cork" Anson this was not recognized because the Utah Ski Club, the competition organizer at the time, had not been a member of the Confederation of Western American Winter Sports Association.
Salt Lake City (1931) – Alf Engen landed a world record jump of 81.1 m (266 ft) during an unofficial event; the latter is why it is officially not recognized as a world record.
Bloudkova velikanka, Planica (Mar 1934) – Per Jonson supposedly landed a world record jump of 89 m (292 ft), but this is only listed as a hill record. Unsourced data.
Bloudkova velikanka, Planica (Mar 1934) – at the above event, Gregor Höll from Austria also supposedly landed a world record jump of 89 m (292 ft), but this is only listed as a hill record. Unsourced data.
Salt Lake City (1935) – Alf Engen landed a world record jump of 94.8 m (311 ft) during training; the latter is why it is officially not recognized as a world record.
Trampolino Gigante Corno d'Aola, Ponte di Legno (1935) – Olav Ulland from Norway supposedly fell on a world record jump of 103.5 m (340 ft), thus becoming the first to ever surpass 100 m. Unsourced data.
Letalnica bratov Gorišek, Planica (Mar 1979) – Axel Zitzmann supposedly fell on a world record jump of 179 m (587 ft). Unsourced data.
Letalnica bratov Gorišek, Planica (14 Mar 1987) – Andreas Felder supposedly jumped 191 m (627 ft), but this is not listed on the Planica official website. Unsourced data.
Letalnica bratov Gorišek, Planica (24 Mar 1991) – Ralph Gebstedt supposedly jumped 194 m (636 ft), but this is not listed on the Planica official website. Unsourced data.

Summer world records

Plastic cover for ski jumping was invented by German ski jumper Hans Renner. First ski jumping tests on plastic without any audience were already made on 31 October 1954 at »Regenbergschanze« in Zella-Mehlis, East Germany. But the »Wadeberg Jugendschanze K40« in Oberhof, East Germany which was built just next to the old »Thüringenschanze« officially became the world's first plastic covered ski jumping hill. On 21 November 1954 they organized first ever and at the same time regional competition on plastic at »Wadeberg Jugendschanze K40« infront of 15,000 spectators where Werner Lesser set first two ever plastic/summer world records of 41 and 42 metres (135 & 138 ft). Russian ski jumper Dimitry Vassiliev holds the current summer world record on plastic with 147.5 metres (484 ft) which he set at Russian National Championships on 15 October 2016 in Sochi, Russia.

On 21 August 2013 American female ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson crashed at 148 metres (486 ft) on free summer training in Oberstdorf, Germany.
