The Igman Olympic Jumps , also called Malo Polje in the local language , is a ski jumping facility on Igman Mountain in the Hadžići municipality near the Bosnian capital Sarajevo .

history

For the XIV. Olympic Winter Games in 1984 the ski jumps on Mount Igman were built. The facility was badly affected by the Bosnian War and has not been used since then. On March 10, 2010, the drafts for the reconstruction of the ski jumping hills at Igman were presented at a press conference of the organization "ZOI'84 Sarajevo", which is responsible for the maintenance of the Olympic sports facilities. The reconstruction as K120 and K90 including grandstands for up to 50,000 spectators and a panorama restaurant at the top of the inrun tower would cost around 7 to 10 million euros. However, this project has not been implemented as of the current status (2018).
