Râșnov Ski Jump (Romanian : Trambulina Valea Cărbunării) is a ski jumping hill located within the Râșnov Sports Complex, in the Cărbunării Valley, southeast of Râșnov, Romania. It is the country's second largest ski jumping hill after the disused 110-meter Tintina. [1]

Contents

The whole ski jumping complex consists of four hills, with K-points of 90, 64, 35 and 15 meters, respectively. [1]

The 90-meter hill was designed by a Romanian architect and opened in 2012. The three other smaller hills were designed by the Austrian architect Christian Aske.

History

Râșnov ski jumping hill has been in existence since 1936. The newly built jumps are located on the outskirts of Râșnov, three kilometers southeast of the city center. The hill record is 103 metres, set on 22 February 2020. [2]

The project was supported by a public–private partnership between the Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism of Romania and OMV Petrom. [1] The investments were estimated at €15 million. [3]

Facilities

All four ski jumps are equipped with floodlight facilities, lifts, snow cannons and plastic mats, which allows them to be also used in summer.

Events

The first official competition hosted was the inaugural round of the 2012 FIS Cup summer edition, held on 9 May 2012. The event attracted the participation of the notable ski jumpers Thomas Morgenstern and Robert Kranjec. Between 18 and 22 February 2013, the large hill hosted the ski jumping events at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival. [4]

In 2013, the venue also hosted the final round of the FIS Cup summer edition (on 28–29 September). In 2014, it hosted a round of the FIS Cup winter edition (on 22–23 February), a round in the ladies' calendar of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup (on 1–2 March) and again the final round in the FIS Cup summer edition (on 27–28 September). [5]

In 2015, the venue hosted again a two-day round in the ladies' calendar of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup (on 7–8 February) and the final round in the FIS Cup summer edition (on 26–27 September). Previously a round of the FIS Cup winter edition (planned on 24–25 January) had been canceled. [5]

In 2017, the venue hosted again a round in the ladies' calendar of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup (on 27–29 January), [5] and the final round of the FIS Cup summer edition, both men's and ladies'. [6] The ladies' round was won by Romania's representative Daniela Haralambie, who also became the champion of the series. [7]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Trampolino Olimpico</span> Ski jumping hill in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy

Trampolino Olimpico Italia is a ski jumping hill (K90), built in 1955 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. It was the site of the ski jumping, Nordic combined (K90/15.0) and team events for the 1956 Winter Olympics. The Nordic combined event used a shorter in-run to allow average jumps between 60 and 70 meters while the upper starting points on the in-run were calculated to allow jumps of 70 to 80 meters. The 1956 profile had a safety limit of 14.5 m beyond the critical point of 72 m.. Among many national and international competitions starting with the 1927 World Championships, was the inauguration of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in 1979. Since the venue lost its FIS-certification in 1990, the installation lies dormant. In its day, the Cortina Ski Jumping hill was regarded as one of the most innovative and still today as one of the most architecturally beautiful examples still in existence. The stadium holds a maximum of 40,000 spectators in the arena and an additional 10.000 in the stands on each side of the hill.

For the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, a total of six sports venues were used. Alpine skiing events took place for the first time and were held in three different locations. Riessersee held the speed skating and some of the ice hockey matches while the bobsleigh events took place south of the lake. The ski jump and its neighboring stadium played host to the cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, and ski jumping events. Even though figure skating and some of the ice hockey matches took place outdoors at the ice stadium, the ice itself was artificially refrigerated to prevent ice thawing.

Ski jumping at the 2013 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival was held in Râșnov, Romania at the Valea Cărbunării Ski Jumping Hill in the Râșnov Sports Complex from 18 to 22 February 2013.
