Ski flying world record, women

What to remember

In Vikersund, Norway, Nika Prevc landed a jump of 236 m in 2025, the women's ski flying world record that year.

Ski flying grew out of ski jumping. Athletes race down a purpose-built ramp, take off with all the power they can muster, then glide as far as possible down a steep hill before landing in a stable manner within a target zone. Five judges award points for distance and style, and the sport is governed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS). On ski flying hills, jumpers go beyond 200 metres, against 100 metres on traditional hills. Only five such hills are certified: Planica in Slovenia, Harrachov in the Czech Republic, Kulm at Tauplitz in Austria, Oberstdorf in Germany and Vikersund, the largest of them since its 2010-2011 rebuild.
