The Japanese Ryoju Kobayashi set a new world record in ski jumping at the Hlidarfjal Ski Center.
He flew 291 meters on an improvised ski jump in Iceland.
According to many, one of the best ski jumpers in history flew 256, 259 and 282 meters during two days of test flights.
In the final jump, he flew 291 meters, which is 37,5 meters more than the world record set by Štefan Kraft at the World Cup competition.
Kobayashi was in the air for eight seconds and reached a top speed of 107,5 kilometers per hour.
The Japanese has won 32 World Cups in his career, and was the overall winner twice.
He also has three trophies from the New Year's Tour of Four Ski Jumps, as well as a gold and silver medal from the 2022 Olympic Games.
"I've dreamed of this jump for a long time, I've always wanted to fly further than everyone else and I want to push the boundaries," Kobayashi said after the longest flight in history.
In cooperation with Red Bull, he tried to break the world record on a specially built ski jump.
