Lahti Ski Games

Lahti Ski Games 2001

Salpausselkä ski jump at the 2001 World Championships

The Lahti Ski Games ( Salpausselän Kisat in Finnish ) are a series of competitions in Nordic skiing in the Finnish city ​​of Lahti that have been held annually since 1923 at the end of February or beginning of March . The games have already been held seven times as Nordic World Ski Championships, in 1926 , 1938 , 1958 , 1978 , 1989 , 2001 and 2017 . In addition, the games are part of the World Cups for the respective sports.

history

The first Lahti Ski Games were held on February 3rd and 4th, 1923 based on the model of the Holmenkollen Ski Festival in Lahti. The two Finnish Holmenkollens winners Anton Collin and Tapani Niku brought the idea to Lahti. When the Nordic World Ski Championships were held for the first time in 1926, foreign participants also came to the event, which had only been held nationally until then. Athletes from 15 of the countries that were founding members of the Fédération Internationale de Ski in 1924 took part . The architect Carolus Lindberg was responsible for a large part of the infrastructure buildings at the ski facilities. In 1930 the event was canceled due to lack of snow. Ten years later, the Winter War prevented it from taking place . No games were held in 1942 because of World War II .

At the Lahti Ski Games in 1952 , women took part for the first time. Despite the ever increasing number of athletes, the event received little media attention in the 1960s and early 1970s. After the games had been broadcast live on radio as early as 1932, TV broadcasting on a national level began in 1971. From the 1978 World Cup, the competitions were also broadcast live internationally.

Salpausselkä medal

Since 1960 - similar to the Holmenkollen Medal - a medal has been awarded to deserving athletes. The first prize winner was Tapani Niku . Between 1984 and 1988 the globally successful ski jumper Matti Nykänen won the medal seven times.

Infrastructure

Salpausselän seisake

A separate train station was built directly on the competition site in 1938 to connect the winter sports center in Lahti. This was moved to the southern end for the world championships in 1958. Both stations are no longer active today, but the Salpausselän seisake is used as the official feeder station. The Lahden Kaupunginmuseo , the local ski museum, is located on the premises of the Lahti Sports Center .
