I don't know about everybody else but
when ski jumpers are in the air, they get
into a position and hardly move at all until
it is time to touch down. All this effort is
based on aerodynamics and trajectory, but
if physical strength could make them go
farther, that would make it less boring
for
me to watch (although, i've never really
experienced snow).
The solution is simple, Wings. The wings
are not to be humangous or fixed, but
should be like cocoroach wings, fitted
along the back until the olympian spreads
his arms to his side, opening his wings,
allowing him to glide. near the end of his
glide, he would be able to flap his wings to
get some more distance.
a twist! get the olympian up to higher
speeds and make him fly through hoops
or around or inbetween inflated pillars.
i might suggest a jet pack, but that's not
very olympic-ish.
