An Olympic preview in the first ski-jump event of the season in Norway. Norwegian two-time world champ, Bjorn Wirkola, has a bad day, finishing 27th. Surprise winner is little known Bent Totum of Norway who soars 179 feet. Pine trees line a downhill ski run in the mountains. A skier moves into position, and then begins down crud slope towards a jump. Bystander's heads turn left to right as he goes by. He jumps the ramp and glides 100 feet, but falls on his landing. Two more skiers follow. A woman pans a movie camera mounted on a tripod as she records the jump of the third skier. The winner is shown with his skies braced upright against his shoulders.
