Barrel jumping is a discipline of speed skating, where ice skaters build up speed to jump over a length of multiple barrels lined up, usually side by side like rollers. Occasionally barrels would also be stacked pyramid-style for height. The objective is to jump over the most barrels without landing on the barrels. At the far end, the skaters need not land on their skates. Most jumpers would wear helmets and padding on their posterior to cushion the landing on the ice. At the end of the ice was a padded bumper.

Sport wywodzi się z łyżwiarskich wyścigów z przeszkodami, uprawianych w Holandii w XIX wieku. Dyscyplinę skodyfikowano w okresie międzywojennym w Stanach Zjednoczonych.

  • In this Olympic season I'd like to talk a bit about a pure, backyard-bred, gauntlet-throwing event that many of my generation were convinced was once a part of the Winter Games. It wasn't, but given some of the arcane, deadbeat events of today's Olympiads it should have been. I'm talking, of course, about the barrel jump. (en)
