In Olympic ski jumping, the K-point on a normal hill is worth 60 points.
The K-point, or construction point, is a marked distance on the landing slope. Jumpers receive distance points according to how far they travel compared with that point. A jump exactly to the K-point earns the event’s standard distance score.
Normal hills traditionally have a K-point of 90 metres, while large hills traditionally use a K-point of 120 metres. The hill-size measurement is different from the K-point and is usually farther down the slope.
Judges also award style points, and competitors receive compensation for wind and starting-gate changes. Consequently, the K-point does not determine the entire result by itself. It is a fixed reference used to make jumps on the same hill comparable.
