The ski jumping (normal hill) event was held separate from the main medal event of ski jumping, results can be found in the table below. Athletes would perform three jumps, of which the two best jumps (distance and form) were counted.

gollark: Can CC:T parse Unix timestamps?
gollark: You have to cover every disk component, as well as every environment-meddling thing, and also possibly EEPROMs.
gollark: OC's API surface is bigger so you could not easily port potatOS's sandboxing backend to it.
gollark: Didn't you make an EEPROM virus?
gollark: PotatOS is an excellent and great OS which is just getting better with the latest update!
