Ski Jumping

Ski Jumping competitions are judged on points awarded not only from distance but also for style. The term "K" refers to the point on the outrun where the hill begins to flatten out. The average takeoff speed on the K89 is 84 Km/h. The jumpers follow the contour of the hill and are seldom more than 3 Metres off the ground. The term "89" means that the K point is 89 Metres from the takeoff point. COP has 5 jumps; the K18 for beginners, the K38 for beginning and development jumpers, the K63 for development jumpers, and the K89 and K114 which are used for world class international competitions.
 

Nordic Combined

Nordic Combined competitions are won based on Ski Jumping distance and style points combined with a Cross-Country skiing time. Competitors start the cross-country race based on their jumping finishing position. The first place jumper starts first and the following skiers are staggered behind based on a points to time conversion determined from their jumping points. The first skier to finish wins the event.
