I think all Olympic level sports are a lot about “finding ways to cheat the rules then it is about athleticism” because it’s the highest level of competition. Myself, I am not athletic. If I wanted to become a runner I’d get better by running more. But the best of the best are already training a ton. So to get advantages and milk those few teeny tiny advancements they have to turn to things like the suits. Remember those swim suits that they used to use? I think they’re banned now but they gave an advantage and I think they were single use too, which is crazy.
Yes but no one does ski jumping as a hobby. Running, skiing, cycling and pretty much any other sport can be done for fun or for health benefits. Ski jumping is quite unique as sport that exists only at professional level where it’s all about cheating.
