Abstract

With the social progress and development, sports have already become the indispensable part in human civilized life. Athletics as the most widespread sport is well-received by people. Olympic Games-led several kinds of sports competitions have sprung up to improve people’s athletic level.

Jumping is integral to many Summer Olympic sports. There are no Winter Olympic sporting events that require an athlete to jump since all the sports are performed on either skis or skates, or on sliding equipment such as a bobsled. Ski jumping is technically a jumping event, but the athlete is propelled into the air by momentum and not by his own physical actions. Other events, such as freestyle skiing and snowboarding, also involve jumping but, as with ski jumping, the athletes rely on momentum and gravity to become elevated.
