The first ever ski flying event for women took place in Norway today. Slovenian ski jumper Ema Klinec won the historic event, setting a new female record of 226 meters. Another Slovenian, Nika Križnar, finished 7th.
Female ski jumpers have been petitioning for years to be allowed to compete on ski flying hills. The International Ski Federation allowed the 15 best female ski jumpers from the last tournament to take part in today's event.
