QUOTE
“At the start of these Winter Olympics, American Lindsey Van held the record for the longest jump at the so-called normal hill (the smaller one) at the Whistler venue. Not the record for women, but for anyone, male or female. At the time, no elite men’s event had been held there. In the first round of the Olympic normal-hill competition, the maximum jump was 105 meters, half a meter less than Van’s distance. In the final round, the longest jump broke Van’s record, at 108 meters. The bronze medalist had the second-longest at 106.5 meters.“
