Invalid World Record
On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Slovenian ski jumper Jurij Tepeš touched the ground at a distance of 154 metres (505 ft). This was a test jump, and so was not officially valid. However, it is the longest summer jump in the history of plastic mat ski jumping, a material which has been in use since 1954.[2]
Summer world record
On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Kazakh ski jumper Sergey Tkachenko set the summer world record distance at 151 metres (495 ft).[3]
