International competitions
Two Continental Cup competitions were held in 2009 and 2011 . In February 2017, two World Cup competitions each for women and men took place in the Alpensia Jumping Park as a pre-event for the 2018 Winter Olympics . It was originally planned that both women's jumping competitions would be on the normal hill and both men's jumping competitions on the large hill . Due to strong winds, the second men's competition was held on the normal hill like the two women's competitions. The Austrian Stefan Kraft set a new record for the normal hill with 113.5 meters on February 16, 2017, after the German Stephan Leyhe and the Slovenian Anže Lanišek achieved a new record for the large hill with 139.5 meters each the day before had.
All jumping competitions organized by the FIS are named.
