How do ski jumpers find the courage to jump off a hill and fly almost 100 meters wearing only a pair of skis? I’m sure that Takanashi Sara can answer that question. She is one of the greatest ski jumpers ever. Over the weekend, she jumped 98 meters to win her 46th World Cup at Lillehammer, Norway. She now has as many overall wins as Matti Nykanen, the great Finnish ski jumper of the 1980s. Now, the only question is: Can she can catch up with Gregor Schlierenzauer of Austria? He has the world record for the most World Cup wins: 53! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
