Five-kilometer ski jump

The five-kilometer ski jump was an event in the Winter Olympic Games. It could only be held on Mimas, a moon of Saturn.

The competitors would ski down a runway on the side of the six kilometer central peak of the crater Arthur. Due to Mimas low gravity (.008g), they would need to push with their ski poles to build up enough speed. At the end of the five kilometer run, they would be traveling at around 100 kph. The end curved up to a 45 degree angle so the skier jumped upwards. With their velocity, a jumper reached an altitude of two and a half kilometers above the end of the runway (three and a half from the floor of the crater) and traveled over ten kilometers. The women's record was 10.6 km while the men's was over 11.5 km.

The event could not be staged on the Earth's moon because its gravity was too strong (1/6th g). The competitors would not reach sufficient altitude to travel anywhere near the record distance. Nor could it be held on the moons of Mars. Although their gravities were even weaker than that of Mimas, neither had a mountain like Arthur's central peak.
