History of Ski Jumping at FISU

Today’s Ski Jumping competitions are organised for men and women as follows: Men - Normal Hill, Large Hill / Women - Normal Hill / Teams - Normal Hill, three (3) participants. The women’s competition of Ski Jumping at the Winter Universiade was included into the sports programme as a demonstration discipline at the 22nd edition in Innsbruck, Austria, in 2005. Seven women participated (3 Austrian, 2 Japanese, 1 Norwegian, 1 Slovene). However, the first woman had already competed in 2003 in Tarvisio, Italy; it was Eva GANSTER (AUT), whose result was counted together with those of all male competitors.

The competitions are supervised by the FISU Technical Chair and the FIS Technical Delegate, who chair all technical meetings concerned. Two jumping hills must follow the requirements of the International Ski Federation (FIS) and go through a homologation process. This exciting snow sport had shifted from the Winter Universiade to the World University Championship programme bringing more winter sports to the WUCs while still being available as optional Universiade sport.
