Ski-jumps are part of the Winter Olympic Games since their beginning in 1924. Until 1956 there took part events one hill, later on so called medium hill (70 m) and on a high hill (80 or 90 m). Except individual sportsman also results (scores) of teams began to be rated. Ski-jumps are together with 15 kilometres ski-runs part of Nordic combination which is an Olympic discipline. The first notice about competitions in ski-jumping is from Norway - the craddle of skiing - of 1808. In Slovakia, there was the first ski-jumping contest in Tatranská Polianka in 1911. The High Tatras were become already twice (in 1935 and 1970) a place of the World Championship in Nordic skiing events, but they are still waiting for the Olympic premiere. The ski-jumping style was in almost two hundred years considerably changed, especially in the phase of the flying. The pioneer of style "V" is Swede Jan Boklov, this style was fully asserted in Albertville on the Winter Olympic Games 1992. The jump-landing into "Telemark" is already since many years champion-jumper's proof.
