Boy do I ever remember that.
I was kind of a Ski Jumping fanatic back then.

I consider myself as brave as the next guy, maybe even braver, but there is no way I would try ski jumping.

Ski Jumping is one of those things I’ll never figure out how anyone can have the guts to do.

Used to watch Wide World of Sports when I was a kid back in the 1970s.
Innocent times.

A few different years of the intro on youtube. Mostly low quality, but from a different era.
You can see a few interesting sports legends in most of these intro’s.
My favorite so far is from 1980 which gives you a second “Agony of Defeat” along with this one.
Starts at 3:38 in this clip:

There’s a practice ski jump ramp at one of the local hills here. It’s scary just to stand at the bottom of it and look up. I can’t imagine how bone-chilling the view must be from the top looking down.

Back in the day they used to win by the distance jumped. In 2020 it is like ice skating with style points.
