FIS Ski Flying World Championships

The FIS Ski Flying World Championships is a ski flying event organised by the International Ski Federation (FIS) since 1972 and held every two years.

The event takes place on hills much larger than ski jumping hills, with the K-point set between 185 m and 200 m. Unlike ordinary ski jumping, the Ski Flying World Champion is determined after four jumps which take place over two days. 40 jumpers qualify for the competition and jump the first round, 10 are eliminated, and the 30 remaining jumpers compete in the last three rounds. The person with most points combined after four jumps is declared the World Champion. In 2004, the FIS introduced a team event between national teams of four jumpers, with two jumps each.

The competitions are not included in the general classification of the Ski Jumping World Cup and Ski Flying World Cup. The exception to this rule were the seasons 1991/1992, 1993/1994, 1995/1996 and 1997/1998, in which the points scored during the Ski Flying World Championships in Harrachov (in 1992), in Planica (in 1994), in Tauplitz/Bad Mitterndorf (in 1996) and in Oberstdorf (in 1998).
