History:

During the Olympics 1952 in Oslo the Japanese jumpers practised on Bjartbakken, the last competition on the facility was 1961, before the jump was put down and later replaced through a new smaller hill.
The new “Lille-Bjarten” (also called Rognerudbakken) had even a judges tower and floodlight, although it was mainly used for training. For ten yours the jump hasn’t been cared about and is dilapidating in the forest. Only small poles and other rests can still be seen and remind of the past. “Earlier many spectators watched the competitions”, Bjørn Østreng reports. “World Champion and Olympic Gold Medal Winner Espen Bredesen form Oppsal jumped from this facility when he was a young boy.” At the moment people try to reconstruct the small hill for the youngsters of the Østensjø school, but still much work has to be done in order to free the jump of garbage and wood.
