Egg position

Egg position

When taking off from a ski jump, skiers will get in an egg position to lower their wind resistance. An egg position is when the skier gets in a crouching position, legs bent at the knees and they are also bending at the waist so their head is lower than their back and their arms are held in close to the side of their body. After take-off the skier will come out of this position into a standing position.
