The National Ski Center is a modern ski jumping complex with one normal and one large hill in Shchuchinsk, Kazakhstan. It is located in Burabay District in the northern part of the country.
Construction started in 2009 and the complex was officially opened by Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev in July 2018. [1] The first official competition took place on 11 July 2019 on the normal hill at the FIS Cup competition.
On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Slovenian ski jumper Jurij Tepeš touched the ground at a distance of 154 metres (505 ft). This was a test jump, and so was not officially valid. However, it is the longest summer jump in the history of plastic mat ski jumping, a material which has been in use since 1954. [2]
On 11 July 2018 at the opening event, Kazakh ski jumper Sergey Tkachenko set the summer world record distance at 151 metres (495 ft). [3]
