It's not unusual though. I mean, look at the 2012 ones, they had venues all over the country, many for the same sport:

Realistically, ski jumping is a small sport, isn't going to have huge crowds, doesn't have a load of athletes(like, say, hockey) and they could still go to the opening and closing ceremonies, schedule the jumps for a few days in the middle of the games, and no one would care about perceived distances.


The organizers would probably turn over most of it to the ski jump federation to run, and only have to worry a little about logistics. Most of it seems like a non-issue to me.
