History:

The first ski jump in the Gorny Gigant (Gornyj Gigant) area of Almaty was built shortly after the Second World War on the grounds of the local kolkhoz. The hill, with a size of approx. K50, was constructed thanks to the initiative and voluntary work of local pioneers of ski sports – Aleksandr Stepanov, Sergei Girzhen and Pavel Chulok, who had previously built ski jumps in the Kamenskoye Plateau area. In 1956, on the initiative of coach Eduard Chuprov, the hill was rebuilt and enlarged to K55. In 1964, it was equipped with plastic mats, enabling year-round training.
By the mid-1960s, Gorny Gigant ranked among the leading ski jumping venues in the USSR, and in 1966 it hosted the Soviet Summer Championships in ski jumping. For the following decades, the hill mainly served as a training facility for Soviet and later Kazakh ski jumpers, although its infrastructure had become outdated – athletes had to climb to the top of the inrun on foot, and the hill profile no longer met modern FIS standards.
After Almaty was awarded the 2011 Asian Winter Games, a decision was made to construct a modern ski jumping complex on the site of the old hill. Earthworks began in late 2007, and the project, designed by German engineer Werner Schertel, cost approximately 37 million euros. The old facilities were demolished, and a new ensemble of five ski jumps – K125, K95, K60, K40 and K20 – all equipped with plastic mats, was built in their place.
The new complex, officially named the “Sunkar International Ski Jumping Complex”, is situated at an altitude of about 900 metres above sea level in the Gorny Gigant district, known for its favourable microclimate – almost windless, which is rare for ski jumps of this size. The facilities are complemented by a stadium with stands for about 9,500–10,000 spectators, a judges’ tower, a media centre, an underground car park, a lighting system, and a cable lift transporting athletes to the top of the inrun.
The official opening of the new complex took place in September 2010 during two Continental Cup summer competitions on the HS140 large hill, both won by Kamil Stoch. In the following years, Gorny Gigant/Sunkar hosted numerous important events: the 2011 Asian Winter Games, Summer Grand Prix competitions from 2011 to 2015, Continental Cup events, the 2015 FIS Nordic Junior World Ski Championships, and World Cup competitions in 2016. During the latter, Peter Prevc recorded the longest jump ever made on the hill – 145 m, while the official HS140 hill record belongs to Severin Freund (141.5 m).
The HS106 (K95) normal hill repeatedly hosted women’s competitions – in the summer of 2012, Sara Takanashi set a series of hill records here (up to 107 m), and the official winter hill record belongs to Nita Englund, who jumped 103.5 m on 28 February 2016.
A particularly important event in the complex’s history was the 2017 Winter Universiade, during which ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions for both men and women were held at the Gorny Gigant venue. After the Universiade, Sunkar stopped hosting World Cup and Summer Grand Prix competitions, but it has continued to serve as the main training centre for Kazakh ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes, as well as the venue for national championships and cup events.
The Gorny Gigant ski jumping complex is also used for other sporting events. For several years, the large hill has hosted the extreme Red Bull 400 race, in which competitors run a 400-metre course up the landing slope. Owing to its distinctive architecture and prominent location, the complex has become one of the visual landmarks of modern Almaty.

Auf der Schanze HS 106 hat sich der Sommerrekord geändert! Sara Takanashi (JPN) verbesserte am 22.09.2013 im Rahmen des GP ihren alten Rekord vom 23.09.2012 um 0,5 m auf 107,5 m. Bitte ändern...!

Official hill record

The situation is a bit strange, but since the FIS result lists state it as "GP Hill Record", we should consider the 138.5 m of Kranjec as "official hill record".

Oficjalny rekord skoczni

Skoro uznawać skok z serii treningowej jako oficjalny rekord, to wówczas nie można brać pod uwagę wyniku 134 m Fannemela sprzed roku gdyż w oficjalnych treningach przed LGP 2011 najpierw 134 m uzyskał Tomas Zmoray, następnie 134,5 m Vladimir Zografski.

Ogólnie chodzi o to, że wynik Kranjca na 138,5 m został uznany jako GP Hill Record tylko z tego względu, że pierwotnie miała to być seria kwalifikacyjna, ale jako że na starcie pojawiło się tylko 46 zawodników to tę serię zastąpiono trzecim treningiem.

Skok Roberta Kranjca na 138,5 m

Skok Roberta Kranjca na 138,5 m nie jest oficjalnym rekordem skoczni, bo został oddany podczas oficjalnego treningu (3 seria), więc nie może zostać uznany.

@Foresss

Zależy kto jak do tego podchodzi. Można traktować oficjalny rekord jako najdalszy skok podczas oficjalnej próby konkursowej w zawodach najwyższej rangi. Z drugiej strony można go traktować jako najdalszy skok podczas oficjalnej próby w zawodach różnej rangi. Wszystko zależy od włodarzy na danej skoczni i jak oni to rozpatrują. Mówienie o oficjalnym rekordzie tylko w przypadku zawodów najwyższej rangi jest moim zdaniem trochę nie fair względem zawodników skaczących na niższym szczeblu. Każdy powinien mieć możliwość ustanowienia rekordu skoczni.

@Oficjalny letni rekord skoczni

Również pozycja z oficjalnym letnim rekordem skoczni na K95 powinna być całkowicie usunięta. Treningi i konkurs PK są traktowane tak samo, a LGP tam nie rozgrywano. Tak więc powinien zostać tylko letni rekord skoczni 106m Stocha.
