Longest jump on plastic ever
Invalid World Record On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Slovenian ski jumper Jurij Tepeš touched the ground at a distance of 154 metres (505 ft). This was a test jump, and so was not officially valid. However, it is the longest summer jump in the history of plastic mat ski jumping, a material which has been in use since 1954.
Summer world record On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Kazakh ski jumper Sergey Tkachenko set the summer world record distance at 151 metres (495 ft).
