This isn't just satisfying to watch—it's critical safety work.
Ski jump crews use industrial leaf blowers to remove moisture and ice from the in-run. At speeds reaching 90km/h, even small amounts of water can affect an athlete's run or cause dangerous conditions.
This is the precision and dedication that happens before you ever see an athlete compete. The Olympics are built on thousands of people doing essential work behind the scenes.
The detail that goes into Olympic sports is mind-blowing.
Relive the best moments from the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, featuring elite athletes, thrilling competition, and unforgettable highlights across the world’s top winter sports on the Olympic stage.
