A ski jumping hill is a sports venue used for ski jumping . They vary in size from temporary handmade snow structures to permanent competition venues. At the top is an in-run where the jumper runs down to generate sufficient speed, before reaching the jump. The skier is then airborne until landing on the landing slope. The last part of the hill is the out-run, which may be either flat or even uphill, allowing the jumper to stop. The steepest point of the hill is the construction point , which is used to determine the score of a particular length. The size of a hill is measured in the hill size . Hills with a hill size exceeding HS185 are designated ski flying hills; there are five such hills in the world.
23-467: Igman Olympic Jumps , also known as Malo Polje , is a defunct ski jumping hill on the mountain of Igman in Ilidža , Sarajevo , Bosnia and Herzegovina . It consists of a large hill with a construction point (K-point) of 112 meters (367 ft) and a normal hill with a K-point of 90 meters (295 ft). Construction started in 1980 and the venue opened in 1982 to host ski jumping and Nordic combined at
46-424: A K-point of 120 meters (390 ft). Designs have been made by Austrian architect firm Hofrichter-Ritter and financing is planned through European Union or Austrian grants. The project includes natural stands on the sides of the landing slope and a combination of permanent and temporary stands around the out-run. At a later date, part of stands could be covered with a roof. A panorama restaurant has been proposed for

92-423: A transition; the last part of the in-run, the take-off, typically has an angle between 7 and 12 degrees downhill. The landing slope has a smooth curve which closely follows the profile of the ski jump; this means that the skier is never more than about 6 meters (20 ft) above the ground. The skier will land on the landing slope, and the rules allow jumpers to land up to ten percent past the construction point. Past
115-444: Is calculated based on the technical data of a hill based on radius, angle of inclination and record distance. The calculation point or K-point is slightly further up in the hill and denotes the point where the landing slope is the steepest. It is still used for the calculation of distance points, which along with style points determine the winner of an event. For hills up to large, the scoring system grants 60 points to jumps which reach
138-818: The 1982 Nordic World Ski Championships and the 1992 , 1994 , 1996 and 1998 Ski Flying World Championships were counted towards the World Cup. The maps display all 65 locations around the globe that have hosted World Cup events for men (58) and women (31) at least one time in the history of the competition. Râșnov in 2020 was the latest new host.

161-464: The 1984 Winter Olympics . The large hill event saw Finland's Matti Nykänen set the hill record of 116.0 meters (381 ft) in front of 90,000 spectators. No other International Ski Federation (FIS) sanctioned competitions have taken place at the hills. During the Siege of Sarajevo , the hills became a battleground and have since not been used. However, there are plans to rebuild the in-run , expand

The lower competitive circuits include the Continental Cup , the Inter-Continental Cup , the FIS Cup , the FIS Race and the Alpen Cup . The Olympic Winter Games , the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and the FIS Ski Flying World Championships do not count towards the World Cup. However, the 1984 Olympic Games,
230-592: The large hill event . The Nordic combined event was won by Norway's Tom Sandberg ahead of Finland's Jouko Karjalainen and Jukka Ylipulli . Igman was included in the Sarajevo bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics . Despite Sarajevo being the only previous host city to bid, it was largely regarded as the weakest bid, primarily due to its lack of infrastructure after the war. 43°46′06″N 18°15′02″E / 43.76833°N 18.25056°E / 43.76833; 18.25056 Ski jumping hill The top of

Work on auxiliary infrastructure started in mid-1979, including a new road from the city to Igman. Construction of the hill and judge's tower started on 1 July 1980 and was completed on 1 December 1982. Construction of

With the war, the hills were no longer able to be used. In 2010, the Olympic legacy company ZOI'84, which owns the hills, launched plans to renovate the venue. Estimated to cost between €7 million and €10 million, the in-runs would have been completely rebuilt, as they are in too poor condition to be renovated. The large hill would be expanded to give
299-428: The critical point. For ski flying hills, 120 points are granted for the critical point length. Based on the hill's length, distance points are calculated, which are added for each meter beyond the critical point and subtracted for each point shorter than the critical point. A meter has more distance points in smaller hills. Hills also have a fall line; a jumper who falls or otherwise touches the ground with their body after
322-407: The fall line is not penalized. The measuring of a distance in a hill was traditionally done by people who were positioned along the hill, who would signal where the skier landed. This has been supplanted by an advanced video system, which allows measurements in 0.5-meter increments. FIS Ski Jumping World Cup The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup is the world's highest level of ski jumping and
345-414: The first and second rounds determine the competition results. The top 30 are awarded World Cup points. The winner gets 100 points while number 30 receives 1 point. At team events only top 8 receive points. The table below shows the three highest ranked jumpers each year. *This additional title was awarded from 1996 to 2000 for the best individual normal and large hill results only. The winner received
368-418: The higher angle freestyle kicker takeoff which emphasizes vertical height to enable aerial flips and twists. In 2004, the International Ski Federation replaced the calculation point as the measurement of the size of a hill with hill size . The hill size is the length from the takeoff in a straight line to the knoll and then along the level of the landing slope to the hill size point. The hill size point
391-409: The hill is the start. This allows the jury to regulate the speed of the jumpers in varying wind conditions, by shortening or lengthening the distance along the in-run. The platform has a bar across it, which the jumper sits on. By leaning forward, the jumper will naturally start to glide down the prepared tracks along the in-run. The in-run normally has an angle of 38 to 36 degrees, which then curves into
414-417: The landing slope is the outrun, which is either flat or even uphill, where the skier can slow down. The speed of the skier is normally measured about 10 meters (33 ft) before the end of the takeoff; jumpers can reach speeds of 95 kilometers per hour (59 mph) on large hills and 105 kilometers per hour (65 mph) on ski flying hills. The classic Nordic jump ramp for horizontal distance differs from
437-426: The large hill and build new spectator stands and visitor facilities. The Malo Polje area of Igman has traditionally been used for recreational cross-country skiing. During Sarajevo's Olympic bid , the two ski jumps were proposed as separate venues. However, after the games were awarded, the plans changed in favor of a single venue, which would allow better post-Olympic use. The area plan for the jumps were presented by
460-399: The same hill during a weekend. One competition consists of a qualifying round; first round, with 50 competitors; and second round, with 30. Qualifying round for the main event was introduced in 1990 to limit the number of competitors. The top 30 in the first round advance to the second round, which is held in reverse order, so the best jumper in the first round jumps last. The aggregate score in
483-552: The ski lift started on 1 October 1982 and was completed on 30 October 1983. The jumps were inaugurated in 1983. After the Olympics, Sarajevo experienced a boom in recreational skiing among locals, including ski jumping. During the Siege of Sarajevo , Igman became part of the buffer zone between the belligerents of the Bosnian government and the Army of Republika Srpska . The area around the ski jumping hill saw heavy fighting during

#1732801263563506-425: The top of the in-runs. The new venue was scheduled to open in 2013; however, no work was done and the site is mostly derelict. The large hill has a construction point (K-point) of 112 meters (367 ft) and the normal hill of 90 meters (295 ft). During the Olympics, 45,000 people attended the normal hill event while 90,000 spectated the large hill event. The large hill record jump of 116.0 meters (381 ft)

The only FIS-sanctioned event to take place at Igman was ski jumping and Nordic combined at the 1984 Winter Olympics . The ski jumping competitions doubled as a part of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup . The normal hill event was won by East Germany's Jens Weißflog ahead of Nykänen. The two reversed top places in
