The Mustamäe ski jumping complex in Tallinn, located on the slope of the same name in the Nõmme district, is the most important and best-known ski jumping centre in Estonia. The history of the largest hill dates back to the 1930s, when the first makeshift constructions were built on the natural slope. As early as 1935, official competitions were held here, with record jumps set, among others, by Otto Tamm and Sergei Šumeiko. In the following years the facility was further developed – smaller training hills were built, and pre-war competitions were dominated by Estonian ski jumper Oskar Veldeman, who won the national championships many times and set successive records on the K18 and K25 hills. In 1941 a new, larger K30 hill was constructed, initiated by Johannes Hint, head of the municipal services department of the City of Tallinn. The Second World War brought stagnation and the destruction of the earlier structures, but the ski jumping tradition on Mustamäe survived.
At the beginning of the 1960s, a decision was made to build a new large hill that could serve as a central training facility in Estonia. The old wooden inrun tower was demolished by blasting in 1961, and in its place a modern masonry tower was erected, designed by architect Peet Samarütel. The structure, built from high-strength silicate bricks and reinforced with steel bars, was completed in 1962 and quickly became one of Tallinn’s most distinctive sports venues. During the official opening ceremony the city authorities gave speeches, the ribbon was cut by well-known Nordic combined athlete and co-initiator of the project Uno Kajak, and the first jump was performed by young athlete Rein Kolks. In the inaugural competition the longest jump was achieved by Rein Kõiv, securing his place in the history of the new hill.
In the subsequent decades Mustamäe played a central role in the development of Estonian ski jumping. Already in the 1950s and 1960s the Estonian Championships were held here, with Ilmar Pärtelpoeg among the winners, setting a record of 47 metres. The hill was an important training venue not only for Estonian athletes but also for Soviet national teams and Finnish squads, which used the facility thanks to its good infrastructure. The 1970s brought modernization, including the installation of new summer surfaces and upgrading of the smaller training hills. International competitions were also held here on a regular basis, with victories claimed by, among others, Tauno Käyhkö from Finland and Juri Golov representing the USSR.
The collapse of the Soviet Union did not interrupt the operation of the facility, which underwent thorough renovation in 2000, and in 2008 the recreational Nõmme Lumepark was opened at the foot of the slope. In 2018 one of the most important upgrades in the history of the complex was carried out – the old metal inrun track was replaced with a modern ceramic track brought from Tehvandi in Otepää. The modernised inrun significantly improved training conditions, as confirmed by Estonia’s top Nordic combined athletes, including Kristjan Ilves. It is Ilves who holds the official hill record – 59 metres, achieved in 2010. In women’s competition the longest jumps belong to Triinu Hausenberg, who reached 53.5 metres on plastic matting.
Today the Mustamäe complex consists of four hills: the large HS60 (K50) and the smaller K25, K18 and K10, all equipped with plastic matting, which enables year-round training. The facility remains a key centre for the development of Estonian ski jumping and Nordic combined, a place where future Olympians and medallists such as Allar Levandi, Ago Markvardt, Jens Salumäe and Kristjan Ilves himself took their first steps.
In 2022 the venue celebrated the 60th anniversary of the masonry tower. The jubilee was accompanied by plans for further modernization, prepared jointly by the city authorities, the Estonian Ski Association and the Estonian Olympic Committee. The aim is a complete renovation of the complex, which would restore Mustamäe’s status as a central training centre and allow it to once again host international competitions.
