History:

Vikersund is a small village at Tyrifjorden 80 km north of Norway’s capitol Oslo. Since the foundation of Vikersund IF in 1894 until 1935 the ski club had been hosting its ski jumping competitions on six different ski jumping hills. In 1984 a committee was announced, whose target was to find a well located hill for a new ski jump near Vikersund. This new ski jumping hill, which was opened with a 86 meter jump of Reidar Andersen, was inaugurated in February 1936.
This ski jump of Vikersund has been enlarged twice since its early days, at first in 1956, after that in 1964/65 into a ski flying hill, after a long and hard fight for the status as Norway’s ski fling hill with Rena IL at Østerdalen. In March 1966 the new ski flying hill was inaugurated and Bjørn Wirkola’s new world record lighted through the whole skiing world in this year. Later on the flying hill was converted several times, but the wind conditions at Vikersundbakken always made many problems during flying competitions. The last conversion of the ski flying hill took place for ski flying world championships in 2000, when it was enlarged into a complete K185 profiled hill, on which one can jump up to 220 meters. Although Sven Hannawald fell at 214 meters in 2000, he became world champion. The potentials of Vikersund were demonstrated during the first COC ski flying in 2004, when Austria’s Roland Müller flew up on 219 meters. This new hill record was unique, but Roland Müller even announced that it would be possible jump even some meters longer.
Then in 2004/2005 a project of a new ski flying hill at Rødkleiva near Oslo was published and Vikersund had to have serious doubts about longer being Norway’s national ski flying facility and general ski flying location. But today this plans are temporarily put on hold and at World Cup Ski Flying 2007 Austria’s Martin Koch even landed on 220.5 m during training, but couldn’t stand it. > Conversion plans
The ski jumping facility of Vikersund doesn’t only consist of the ski flying hill HS 207, there is a big hill ski jump K105 (HS 117), too, which regularly hosts Continental Cup competitions of men and women, as well as pupils and training hills K65, K45, K25, K15, K10.
In April 2010 the conversion of the ski flying hill HS 207 into HS 225 started, by increasing the difference of height up to 135 m. The old inrun construction was blown up, the whole hill was slightly rotated and on a new natural inrun was shaped into the hill out of concrete and steel. Total investment cost was 80m Krones (about 10.2m Euros), half of which was covered by the state. By the way, the new jump was planned by Sebastian and Janez Gorišek from Slovenia, who are also responsible for Letalnica flying hill in Planica. In December 2010 construction works were finished and in February 2011 there will be the test World Cup hosted in Vikersund before Ski Flying World Championships in 2012.

Schanze ausgereizt

Man kann in dieser Saison allgemein beobachten, dass aus immer niedrigeren Gates gestartet wird und man fast auf allen Schanzen am unteren Limit ist. Scheinbar hat man bei der Schanzenplanung (im Allgemeinen) die rasante Weiterentwicklung von Technik und Material unterschätzt.

22)   Kossi   wrote on 2011-02-11 at 23:30:

Schanzenweite ist mit den 246,5m schon nahezu ausgereizt

Also man muss dabei beachten, dass der Evensen 2 nahezu perfekte Sprünge abgeliefert hat, die nicht als Standard gelten können/sollten. Aber dass Evensen bei seinen 246,5m bereits im abflachenden Aufsprungbereich gelandet ist und bei der Landung schon heftig mit dem Landedruck zu kämpfen hatte, lässt m.E. eine stehbare Weite max. 250m Weite zu. Alle darüber hinausgehenden (Wunsch-)Prognosen halte ich bei der Schanze für unrealistisch und unverantwortlich ...
aber diese Weite ist eh schon Hammer!!!

Ja Tom...der Meinung bin ich auch

Wieso das, ist doch völliger Nonsens.
Was machen die bei 2-3 Meter/s Aufwind?
Richtig...dann kann man nicht springen.
Auf solchen Schanzen spring sowieso nur der Weltcup...für was braucht man dann so einen Großen Anlauf nach oben?
Aber die werden die Schanze mit sicherheit nochmal umbauen bis nächste Saison, da bin ich mir 100% sicher.

Vikersund - Rekord skoczni

Przecież rekord Evensena na 246,5 m z kwalifikacji liczy się jako oficjalny, tak samo jak liczył się rekord Ammanna z kwalifikacji w Klingenthal! Ludzie...

Evendsen nochmal neuer WR

Evendsen hat soeben in der Quali den Rekord auf 246,5 Meter geschraubt....

Was ich mich allerdings frage: Man baut eine nagelneue Schanze und ist trotzdem mit dem Anlauf schon wieder ziemlich am Limit, am Ende der Quali Luke 4, nach oben hin sicher noch 20 Meter Turmlänge vorhanden.

Warum kann man bei der Planung einer neuen Schanze das nicht schon einberechnen in der heutigen Zeit?

Gruss

TOM
