The Holmenkollbakken is a ski jump at Mount Holmenkollen in the city of Oslo , capital of Norway .
The Holmenkollbakken is considered to be the oldest jumping facility in the world. The facility, which was built towards the end of the 19th century, was rebuilt several times. Today's buildings are much more recent and were erected after the previous buildings had been demolished in autumn 2008.
Origin of name
It is widely reported that the Holmenkollen is named after the doctor Ingebrigt Holm, who first ran a hotel on the mountain since 1889, and later also a sanatorium. However, this derivation of the name does not appear in Norwegian-language sources. In fact, the area is already marked as "Holmen" on a map from 1800.
Winter sports facilities
The first ski jumping competition on Holmenkollen took place on January 31, 1892, the first hill record was set by Arne Ustvedt with 21.5 meters . In 1952 the Olympic Winter Games were held on the Holmenkollen . The World Cup competitions held here in the sports of ski jumping , cross-country skiing , Nordic combined and biathlon attract tens of thousands of visitors every year. In March 2013, a women's ski jumping World Cup took place for the first time . It was the first large hill World Cup in the history of women's ski jumping.
In autumn 2008, work began on demolishing the reinforced concrete ski jump and replacing it with a new one. The implementation of the longer planned project was partly dependent on the outcome of the 2011 Nordic World Ski Championships , for which Oslo-Holmenkollen, Zakopane (Poland) and Val di Fiemme (Italy) had applied. This decision was made on May 25, 2006 in favor of the City of Oslo. In September 2008 the demolition of the grandstands began, the ski jumping hill was dismantled on October 16th. The spectacular new steel building in a self-supporting structure was started in spring 2009. Because of the renovation, no jumping could take place on Holmenkollen in the 2008/09 season. The profile of the landing slope was only slightly changed during the renovation, so that the K point of the new jump is 120 meters.
Holmenkollen ski festival
The Holmenkollen Ski Festival, which has been held annually since 1892, is the oldest ski competition held on Holmenkollen (current disciplines: ski jumping, Nordic combined, biathlon, cross-country skiing). In the years 1898, 1941 to 1945 ( Second World War ), 2009 (reconstruction of the ski jump) and 2011 ( Nordic World Ski Championships 2011 ) there was no Holmenkollen Ski Festival. In the years when there is jumping on the Holmenkollen during the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup , this takes over the function of the Holmenkollen Ski Festival.
In 1939, the Swede Sven Selånger was the first non-Norwegian to win the traditional competition, for which he was the first non-Norwegian to receive the Holmenkollen Medal . The German Helmut Recknagel was the first non-Scandinavian to win jumping in 1957 and was also the first non-Scandinavian to receive the Holmenkollen Medal in 1960. The Pole Adam Małysz had the most successes in ski jumping at the Holmenkollen Ski Festival with a total of 5 victories (1996, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2007). The most successful German is Severin Freund with three wins (2014, 2015, 2015).
