The Vikersundbakken , often also called Monsterbakken , has been the largest ski flying hill in the world since 2010 . World Cup competitions and ski flying world championships are held regularly on the hill in Vikersund , Norway .
particularities
Before its renovation in 2010, the hill had the steepest inrun of all the hills regularly used in the World Cup with an inclination angle of 40.37 °. Now the angle is only 36 °. It was the first ski jumping hill that was equipped with a floodlight system for night jumping.
Name of the hill
The hill is sometimes referred to as skiflygingsbakken , which is nothing more than the Norwegian word for ski flying hill. Since its renovation in 2010, the ski jump has been nicknamed Monsterbakken , especially in the Norwegian media landscape .
history
In Vikersund, jumping competitions have been held on various hills since 1894. In 1936 the first ski jump was built on the site of today's Vikersundbakken. This was enlarged over the years and turned into a ski flying hill in 1964/65. In 1966 and 1967 the ski flying world record was improved three times on the hill. Before the ski flying world championship in 2000 , the hill was expanded and enlarged to a construction point of 185 meters. Due to the renovation of the Holmenkollbakken in Oslo, Vikersund was also the venue for the final event in 2009 as part of the Nordic Tournament .
At the beginning of the 21st century there were repeated discussions about whether the facility should be expanded or closed and instead a new flying hill near the Holmenkollen should be built. However, the plan for a ski jump in Oslo was rejected. The existing ski jump in Vikersund was converted to a K-point of 200 meters and a hill size of 225 meters, so that flights of up to 250 meters are possible. In February 2011, two World Cup competitions took place on the facility, which was not yet completely finished, in which new world record distances were achieved in both the first training and the qualification. In May 2011, the Ministry of Culture provided a further financial grant of several million euros for the complete completion of the facility.
In 2012 the Ski Flying World Championship took place in Vikersund . On February 14, 2015, Slovene Peter Prevc jumped a world record of 250.0 meters in the second round. However, this world record did not last long because Anders Fannemel improved it the next day in the same place by another 1.5 m to 251.5 m. In the team competition on March 18, 2017, the Norwegian Robert Johansson beat the world record in the second group in the first round of 252.0 m, the Austrian Stefan Kraft in the fourth group again on 253.5 m.
