Ski jumpers probably are big weight lifters if the goal is to get larger suits, big lats especially.

Thinner athletes generally achieve greater distances

To combat dangerous weight loss and eating disorders, the International Ski Federation (FIS) requires a minimum Body Mass Index (BMI). If a jumper's BMI is below 21, they are required to use shorter skis, which reduces their aerodynamic lift.
