Ski Flying

 

We've always been fans of the Winter Olympics, and ski jumping has always been near the top of the list of events we like (there's a reason why ABC Sports' old "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" promo line accompanied video of a ski jumper crashing).  This isn't a vid about the Olympics event, but it involves an Olympic medalist and World Cup Champion, Ryōyū Kobayashi, and his team ("Red Bull gives you wings!") building the longest ski jump ever to break the world record in 2024.  As he says, it's not ski jumping, it's ski flying.  Watch and see if he does it.
