What is the starting stance that ski jumpers like Ammann use before takeoff called?

  • Bar position

  • Gate pose

  • Inrun stance

  • Launch crouch

Answer

Inrun stance, the starting position for ski jumpers, involves crouching low with arms at the side, generating power and transitioning into a forward leap off the take-off ramp. This stance ensures optimal energy transfer, balance, and control during the initial phase of the jump, setting the stage for a successful flight and graceful landing.
