Ski Jumping

Launched at 60 miles an hour, the best jumpers will soar for the length of a football field or more.

Slopestyle

...three flips and four 360-degree revolutions; the backside triple cork 1440.

Luge is often the fastest event in the Olympics...

so fast that track designers for Sochi tried to slow it down.

Without the uphill sections, racers would reach 100 m.p.h.

Halfpipe

The Double McTwist 1260 has two complete flips and 540 degrees of spin, which adds up to 1260 degrees of total rotation.

The effect is that of a gyroscope.
