ProKennex

ProKennex is a Taiwanese manufacturer of racquet sports equipment for tennis, squash, badminton, racquetball, and pickleball. The company enjoyed wide global distribution in the 1980s, when manufacturing in Taiwan was booming due to domestic economic conditions. Parent company Kunnan Enterprise Ltd. has faced financial difficulties since the mid 1990s, leading to a contraction of the ProKennex name globally. Today, the company focuses on a niche set of consumers interested in technology advancements in racquet sports. The company focuses on this aspect of its products by promoting itself as a "science and design company", rather than a standard racket manufacturer.
The origins of the company began in 1965 when Lo Kunnan, the son of a plastic toy gun manufacturer, began producing wooden badminton racquets in the backyard of his father's house. In 1968, Lo moved on to producing wooden tennis racquets, followed by aluminum racquets in 1973.
In 1969, Lo launched sporting goods company Kunnan Enterprises Ltd.; it quickly became the world's biggest badminton producer. The company began branding their rackets in 1978. The brand was originally called "Kennedy", named after the President of the United States John F. Kennedy. Later, because the presidential brand was deemed too political, it was renamed to "Kennex"; then to "ProKennex" (Chinese: 「肯尼士」) to avoid conflict with tennis ball maker "Tennex".
They made the world's first mid-size graphite tennis racquet in 1980, followed by the world's first graphite squash racquet in 1983. ProKennex also began using carbon fiber technology and exporting to other countries via a U.S. company. By 1980, it grew to be the world's largest tennis racket manufacturer; its rackets were sold in more than 60 countries, accounting for 1/4 of the global market. At that time, ProKennex owned the world's largest tennis racket factory, and it also made rackets for other global brands such as Prince, Dunlop, Fischer, and Adidas. Professional tennis players sponsored by ProKennex included Li Na and Peng Shuai. The company became known as the "Taiwan miracle".
During this heyday period, ProKennex began to make other sporting goods such as golf clubs, fishing rods, sneakers, and sportswear. Its parent company Kunnan Enterprises also expanded into unfamiliar ventures including computer, securities, and construction companies, and tried to start up a commercial bank. ProKennex even owned a large hotel (Chinese: 「肯尼士太飯店」) in Taichung, now called "Grand City Hotel" (Chinese: 「五都大飯店」). But the expansion and diversification proved too ambitious and complex; mounting financial liabilities forced Kunnan Enterprises into bankruptcy in 2000.
In 2002, ProKennex reorganized to focus on racket sports and Lo Kunnan retired from the business he founded.
Battledore and shuttlecock

Battledore and shuttlecock, or jeu de volant, is a sport related to the professional sport of badminton. The game is played by two or more people using small rackets (battledores), made of parchment or rows of gut stretched across wooden frames, and shuttlecocks, made of a base of some light material, such as cork, with trimmed feathers fixed around the top. The object is for players to bat the shuttlecock from one to the other as many times as possible without allowing it to fall to the ground.
The modern game is closely related to the professional sport of badminton.
Games with a shuttlecock are attested to as early as 2,000 years ago, and have been popular in India, China, Japan, and Siam. Various traditional shuttlecock games have been played by North American indigenous peoples, including the Kwakiutl, Pima, Salish, and Zuni; they are often played with a feathered shuttle made of corn husk or twigs and sometimes a wooden battledore. In Europe, battledore and shuttlecock was played by children for centuries (the OED dates the words to 1598 and 1599 respectively), and ancient drawings appearing to depict the game have been found in Greece.
It was still being played in the College Garden, Glasgow, Scotland in August 1850, and Japan in 1890 and 1910.
Settled by Europeans in 1788, by 1804 in Sydney town, at the home of Sergeant Packer on Pitt's Row, among foods and clothing being sold were... 'Tamborines, and music boxes, set to irregular airs, Battledores and shuttlecocks'; also commonly sold in the 1830s and 1850s.
The sport was played at the Sydney's George Street Police Racket Ground in April 1850 by Sir Thomas Livingstone Mitchell and others for 1:47 hours. It was still being mentioned or played in 1910.
Noting its origins with battledore and shuttlecocks, the new activity of badminton was introduced to the readers within the Australian colonies in 1874, gaining popularity in the 1920s. Its demise was signalled with the formation of state badminton associations such as in South Australia in February 1930.
'Battledore and shuttlecock' was used as a figure of speech to describe a rallying argument, debate, or political game. An 1841 comment in the Hobart Town Advertiser stated 'Battledore and shuttlecock's very good game, when you arn't the shuttlecocks and two lawyers the battledore, in which case it gets too excitin' to be pleasant'.
U.S. Open Badminton Championships

The U.S. Open Badminton Championships is an annual badminton tournament first held in 1954 (71 years ago) (1954) when the American Badminton Association (now USA Badminton) opened the U.S. National Badminton Championships to foreign competition. During the 1950s and 1960s it often attracted the world's top players. The 2015 Yonex Suffolk County Community College US Open Championships, held in Brentwood, NY, attracted Malaysia's superstar Lee Chong Wei as well as 9 others in the top 30 MS competitors. In 2016, the tournament was hosted in El Monte, California. In 2017, the tournament was hosted in Anaheim, California. In 2018, the tournament will be held at California State University, Fullerton.
Winston Wilkinson (badminton)

Cyril Winston Wilkinson (died 2014) was an Irish badminton player, sixteen time national champion, and badminton coach.
Wilkinson was a student of Trinity College Dublin from 1959 to 1962. In 1972, he earned a Masters in Education from Queen's University Belfast, and subsequently completed his Ph.D. in the same institution in 1981, with a thesis on "A consideration of the growth of the concept of the community school, with particular reference to its development since 1930 in Great Britain and the United States of America.".
At the age of twenty, Wilkinson started playing senior interprovincial badminton. Despite being from Ulster, he was eligible to play for Leinster by virtue of the fact he was a student in Trinity College Dublin. Footage from 1960 of a doubles match Wilkinson played in against Ulster survives in the Irish Film Institute archive. That year Wilkinson was first called up to the Ireland national badminton team as a men's doubles player in a Thomas Cup match against Denmark.
The 1960's saw Wilkinson dominate the men's doubles and mixed doubles national titles, with a sole men's single title included for good measure. Beginning in December 1961, Wilkinson succeeded in the men's singles of the Irish National Badminton Championships. The semi-finals of that tournament saw him paired against James 'Chick' Doyle, the reigning men's single champion unbeaten since 1953. Wilkinson received a walkover as Doyle withdrew. The final saw Wilkinson overcome Lennox Robinson in two sets.
In the 1980's Wilkinson was an Irish team coach and a senior coach with the Badminton Union of Ireland. Wilkinson died in 2014 in Spain.

Skihopping i Danmark

Danmark har av naturgitte årsaker liten tradisjon for skisport. Men landet har likevel hatt en begrenset aktivitet innen skihopping.
Danmarks Skiforbund ble stiftet i 1938. De neste årene ble det bygd flere hoppbakker i landet. Landets kanskje mest kjente hoppbakke var 40-metersbakken Holtekollen ved Holte, en forstad til København, som sto ferdig i 1943. Til rennene der i årene 1946-48, der blant annet de beste hopperne fra Kongsberg deltok, ble det fraktet snø med tog fra Norge. I et hopprenn med stor internasjonal deltakelse like etter vinter-OL i Oslo i 1952 var det over 30 000 betalende tilskuere i Holtekollen.
Andre større (etter dansk målestokk) hoppbakker fantes ved Hjørring, Vejle og Silkeborg. Den danske hoppsporten døde ut på 1970- og 80-tallet, og ingen av disse hoppbakkene eksisterer lenger i dag (2011). I 2009 foreslo et flertall i kommunestyret i Københavns kommune å bygge et kunstig skianlegg på Amager, som blant annet skulle inneholde en hoppbakke med plastdekke.
Bent Jacobsen flyttet fra Danmark til Elverum i 1968, og var deretter en periode aktiv skihopper. Hans personlige rekord er 90 meter, satt i Renabakken. Jacobsen ble senere kjent som komponist og trekkspillvirtuos. Den eneste aktive danske skihopper i senere år er Andreas Bjelke Nygaard, som er bosatt i Norge og deltok i norgescupen rundt 2001. Han ønsket å kvalifisere seg til OL i Salt Lake City i 2002, men hadde ingen mulighet til å klare Danmarks Olympiske Komites krav om to tiendeplasser i verdenscupen. Nygaards personlige rekord er 137 meter, satt i Lysgårdsbakken på Lillehammer.
Den nye Holmenkollbakken i Oslo, som ble åpnet i 2010, er tegnet av det belgisk-danske arkitektfirmaet JDS Architects.

I Vinter-OL 2022 tok hun gull i normalbakkerennet. Hun var også med på å ta gull i mikslagskonkurransen sammen med Križnar, Timi Zajc og Peter Prevc.
Pine Mountain Ski Jump

Pine Mountain Ski Jump er en hoppbakke i Iron Mountain i delstaten Michigan, USA. Bakken ligger i Breitung Township i Dickinson County. Den har K-punkt 120 meter og bakkestørrelse 133 meter. Anlegget består også av tre mindre hoppbakker med størrelse K38, K25 og K10.
Bakkerekord satt i verdenscuprenn er 140 meter, satt av Masahiko Harada (Japan) 18. februar 1996. I kontinentalcupen har Stefan Thurnbichler (Østerrike) hoppet 143,5 meter 15. februar 2009.
Pine Mountain er en av tre hoppbakker i USA med K-punkt 120 meter (de to andre er storbakkene i MacKenzie Intervale Ski Jumping Complex i Lake Placid og Utah Olympic Park Jumps i Park City). Pine Mountain har den lengste bakkerekorden av disse tre, og målt etter bakkerekord gjør det den til den største hoppbakken i USA som er i drift, bare slått av skiflygingsbakken Copper Peak (også i Michigan), som ikke lenger er i bruk.
Den første hoppbakken i Iron Mountain ble bygd ved Hemlock Street i 1929, men den eksisterte bare kort tid. I 1933 ble hoppbakken Devil's Hill bygd ved Crystal Lake. Denne bakken ble revet under 2. verdenskrig. Byggingen av hoppbakken i Pine Mountain startet i 1937, og bakken sto ferdig høsten 1938. Den har siden blitt utbygd flere ganger.
Pine Mountain har vært arena for verdenscuprenn i spesielt hopp to ganger, i 1996 og 2000. Bakken har hatt kontinentalcuprenn hvert år siden 2001, bortsett fra 2003. Pine Mountain har vært arena for USA-mesterskapet i skihopping 3 ganger, i 1958, 1960 og 1966.
De to kontinentalcuprennene i Iron Mountain 21. februar 2015 var preget av mye vind, og rekorder for vindkompensasjon kan ha blitt satt i disse rennene. I det første rennet fikk Joachim Hauer (Norge) til sammen -87,1 poeng i vindkompensasjon (-45,0 og -42,1 poeng i de to omgangene, for 5,16 og 4,82 m/s oppdrift). I det andre rennet fikk Dusty Korek (Canada) -50,9 poeng i vindkompensasjon i andre omgang, tilsvarende 5,83 m/s oppdrift.
Harris Hill Ski Jump

Harris Hill Ski Jump er en hoppbakke ved byen Brattleboro i Vermont, USA. Bakken har K-punkt 90 meter og bakkestørrelse 98 meter, og er den største hoppbakken i New England-delstatene. I tillegg til hovedbakken har anlegget også en liten K20-bakke. Hoppanlegget er eid av Brattleboro Outing Club. Harris Hill har ikke hatt internasjonale renn av betydning, men har ni ganger vært arena for USA-mesterskapet i skihopping.
Gjeldende bakkerekord i K90-bakken er 102 meter, satt av Chris Lamb (USA) 14. februar 2010. I K20-bakken er rekorden 19 meter, satt av Spencer Knickerbocker (USA) 19. februar 2005. Det årlige rennet i Harris Hill kalles Fred Harris Memorial Tournament.
Bakken er oppkalt etter Fred Harris, som fikk bygd bakken i 1922. Bing Anderson satte den første bakkerekorden med 158 fot (48,2 meter). I 1924 ble USAs nasjonale mesterskap for første gang arrangert i Harris Hill. Mesterskapet ble også arrangert der i 1929, 1938, 1942, 1951, 1961, 1969, 1975 og 1992. (Det siste mesterskapet var i normalbakke, til og med 1980 ble USA-mesterskapet bare holdt i én bakke.)
Harris Hill er blitt ombygd flere ganger, sist i perioden 2006-2008. Etter 2005-sesongen ble ovarennet stengt på grunn av at sikkerheten var for dårlig. En pengeinnsamling og donasjoner fra stiftelsen Manton Foundation gjorde at bakken kunne ombygges til moderne standard.
5. januar 1975 døde den 22 år gamle skihopperen Jeff Wright etter at han brakk nakken i et fall i Harris Hill.

Brendan Doran

Brendan Doran (født 17. mars 1979 i Long Beach) er en amerikansk tidligere skihopper som representerte Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. Han ble nasjonal mester i normalbakke i 2000.
Doran flyttet med familien fra California til Steamboat Springs, Colorado i 1990. Fra 1994 til 2002 var han på USAs hopplandslag. I junior-VM i Gällivare 1995 fikk han 7.-plass i lagkonkurransen og 54.-plass i det individuelle rennet. Året etter ble det 9.-plass i lagkonkurransen og 15.-plass individuelt i junior-VM i Gallio.
Han ble nummer 50 i normalbakken og 55 i storbakken i senior-VM i Thunder Bay 1995, og tok 11. og sisteplass i lagkonkurransen. I VM i 1999 fikk han 46.-plass i storbakken i Bischofshofen og 59.-plass i normalbakken i Ramsau. Doran deltok i OL i 1998, der det ble 52.-plass i normalbakken og 58.-plass i storbakken i Hakuba. I OL i 2002 ble han nummer 44 i normalbakken. Han greide ikke å kvalifisere seg til rennet i storbakken, og under lagkonkurransen var han syk og kunne ikke delta.
Kun én gang greide han å ta poeng i verdenscupen, da han ble nummer 26 i Iron Mountain 26. februar 2000. Det ga 5 poeng og 75.-plass sammenlagt i verdenscupen 1999/2000. Samme sesong ble han nummer 71 sammenlagt i den tysk-østerrikske hoppuka.
Bare 23 år gammel la Brendan Doran opp som skihopper etter sesongen 2001/02, blant annet fordi han ikke lenger orket å pine seg ned i vekt for å kunne hevde seg. Han ble tatt opp i The American Ski Jumping Hall of Fame i 2008.
Primož Roglič

Primož Roglič (født 1989) er en slovensk syklist og tidligere skihopper.
Han var skihopper i perioden 2003–2011, og ble juniorverdensmester for lag i 2007. Da hoppkarrieren som senior ikke utviklet seg slik han hadde håpet mistet han motivasjonen og forsøkte seg på sykkel i stedet.
Under Sykkel-VM 2017 i Bergen vant han sølv i temporittet, og hadde raskeste tid opp den siste stigningen mot Fløyen.
Roglič omtales som en av sykkelsportens fremste etapperyttere. Han har blant annet vunnet Vuelta a España sammenlagt fire ganger, og vant Giro d’Italia i 2023.
I 2021 ble han olympisk mester på tempo.
Røykmaskin

Røykmaskin (også kalt tåkemaskin) er et apparat som sender ut en tett damp som ligner på røyk eller tåke. Denne kunstige tåken eller røyken benyttes i underholdningsindustrien, til konserter, teater, film og lignende.
De fleste røykmaskiner lager røyken ved hjelp av to hovedmetoder. Den ene baserer seg på fordampning av en væske basert på vann og glykol eller glyserin, mens den andre metoden danner en mineralolje-basert røyk via atomisering. For glykolbasert røyk blir væsken (fog juice) sprøytet inn i en oppvarmet blokk og fordamper raskt. Dette danner et kraftig trykk som presser dampen ut av utgangen. Når dampen kommer i kontakt med den (relativt sett) kalde luften utenfor dannes røyken (tåka).
Selv om de oftest antas å være trygge å puste inn, så har eksponering til røyk og tåke produsert av maskiner basert på mineralolje, glykol og glyserin blitt knyttet til ugunstige kort- og langsiktige helseeffekter på luftveissystemet for utsatte artister og scenearbeidere, spesielt de med luftveisproblemer som for eksempel astma. Man bør derfor unngå å puste inn kunstig laget røyk og tåke. For filmproduksjon er det dessuten mulig å legge til røykeffekter digitalt under etter-redigeringen i stedet for å bruke røykmaskiner på settet. Glykolbasert røyk er blitt knyttet til med hodepiner, svimmelhet, døsighet og tretthet hos de eksponerte. Disse resultatene er som man kunne forvente ettersom glykoler har en viss kjemisk likhet med alkoholer, og ettersom tåkepartiklene er så små blir det lett for dem å komme inn i blodet. Symptomer som tungpustethet har blitt knyttet til langtidseksponering til kunstig røyk og tåke.
Suicide Hill Ski Jump

Suicide Hill Ski Jump is a 90-meter ski jump located in Negaunee, Michigan, and is part of the Ishpeming Ski Club. It is one of three major ski jumps located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the others being Copper Peak (a larger ski flying hill) and Pine Mountain Ski Jump). Suicide Hill has been in existence since 1925. Suicide Hill Ski Jump is located in a small valley known as Suicide Bowl at the U.P. Nordic Ski Complex (UPNSC). Suicide Bowl contains a total of five jumps: a 13-meter, 25-meter, 40-meter, 60-meter, and Suicide Hill at 90-meters. The 13-, 25-, and 40-meter jumps are fitted with plastic for summer jumping. All five jumps are used during winter. The UPNSC also features the Norman Juhola trail system, with over 5 km of cross-country ski trails.
Before the construction of the jump in 1925, numerous other hills and jumps were used for competitions. The first competition that took place in Ishpeming, Michigan was on February 25, 1882. Since 1887, an annual competition has taken place in the area. On February 26, 1926, Suicide Hill was opened for its first competition. The name "Suicide Hill" was given by a local newspaper reporter named Ted Butler after jumper Walter "Huns" Anderson was injured in 1926. Due to this long history of ski jumping in the area, the National Ski Hall of Fame is located in Ishpeming.

Holmenkollen Ski Museum

Holmenkollen Ski Museum (Norwegian: Skimuseet i Holmenkollen) is located at the base of the Holmenkollen ski jump in Oslo, Norway.
The Ski Museum was founded in 1923 and is the world's oldest ski museum. The initiator of the museum was the architect Hjalmar Welhaven. His private collection formed the foundation of the antique and historic skis on display at the museum. Until 1951, the collection was housed in a building in the Oslo neighborhood of Frognerseteren. In connection with the rebuilding of Holmenkollbakken in 1951, the museum collection was moved to new premises at Holmenkollbakken.
The museum contains 4,000 years of skiing history, starting with rock carvings dating from the Stone Age. It also displays skiers and skis from the Viking Age. Additionally it displays equipment used in the polar expeditions of both Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen. The Ski Museum is owned and operated by Skiforeningen. This association is responsible for the organization of sports, activities and events in Holmenkollen National Park.

Holmenkollen Ski Festival

The Holmenkollen Ski Festival (Norwegian: Holmenkollen skifestival or Holmenkollrennene) is a traditional annual Nordic skiing event in Holmenkollen, Oslo, Norway. The full official name of the event is Holmenkollen FIS World Cup Nordic.
It takes place in March and has been arranged every year since 1892, except for 1898 and during World War II (1941–1945). The event is arranged by Skiforeningen and takes place at Holmenkollen National Arena and ski jumping hills Holmenkollbakken and Midtstubakken. In 2009 Holmenkollen was under renovation and replacement races were held in Trondheim for cross-country skiing and biathlon, and in Vikersund for ski jumping and nordic combined.
In 2011, Holmenkollen hosted the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and there was no separate Holmenkollen Ski Festival. Previously Holmekollen had hosted World Championships in 1930, 1966, 1982, and it also hosted the Nordic skiing events of 1952 Winter Olympics that were also that year's World Championships. Holmenkollen has also hosted biathlon World Championship events in 1986, 1990, 1999, 2000, and 2002, and hosted it once again in 2016.
Holmenkollen

Holmenkollen (Urban East Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈhɔ̂ɫmn̩ˌkɔɫn̩]) is a mountain and a neighbourhood in the Vestre Aker borough of Oslo, Norway. It goes up to 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level and is well known for its international skiing competitions.
The name is a compound of the farm name Holmen and the finite form of kolle 'knoll'. The name Holmen is itself a compound of the Old Norse words holmi 'elevated space on land' and vin 'meadow'.
In addition to being a residential area, the area has been a ski recreation area since the late 19th century, with its famous ski jumping hill, the Holmenkollbakken, hosting competitions since 1892. To the north, the area borders the Marka woodlands area.
The Holmenkoll Line of the Oslo Metro runs through the neighborhood, serving the stations Besserud and Holmenkollen.
The Holmenkollen Chapel was destroyed by arson in August 1992 by black metal artists Varg Vikernes, Bård “Faust” Eithun and Øystein “Euronymous” Aarseth, but later rebuilt.
The chapel is a neighbour to the Norwegian Royal Lodge, the residence of the Norwegian royal family during events like Christmas and Holmenkollen Ski Festival.
Holmenkollen has a humid continental climate transitional with maritime subarctic influenced by its elevated position above the valley consisting of Oslo's downtown. It has cooler weather than the lower elevations, especially in summer and more precipitation both in terms of rain and snow because of orographic lift. Winter temperatures are slightly colder than in lower areas, although the difference is lower at that time of the year. Even so, Holmenkollen usually maintains a sizeable snowpack. In spite of the elevation, summer temperatures are comparable to sea level locations on the North Sea both in Norway and Scotland.

Ski jumping at the Winter Olympics

Ski jumping has been included in the program of every Winter Olympic Games. From 1924 through to 1956, the competition involved jumping from one hill whose length varied from each edition of the games to the next.
It is controversial whether the Olympic Games from 1924 to 1960 were normal hill or large hill competitions. Even the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has no clear consensus on this.
Most historians have placed the length of the Olympic competition in 1924 at 70 meters and have classified this as the large hill. (Recent information from the FIS offices in Switzerland have had the K-points from 1924 to 1956 determined as shown below). In 1960, the ski jump hill was standardized to 80 meters. In 1964, a second ski jump, the normal hill at 70 meters (K90) was added along with the 80 meters (K120) large hill. The length of the large hill run in 1968 increased from 80 meters to 90 meters (K120). The team large hill event was added in 1988. By 1992, the ski jumping competitions were referred by their K-point distances rather than their run length prior to launching from the ski jump (90 meters for the normal hill and 120 meters for the large hill, respectively) and have been that way ever since. For the 2006 Winter Olympics, the normal hill was designated as HS106 (K95) while the large hill was designated as HS140 (K125).
Until the 1980 Winter Olympics the Winter Olympics also served in ski jumping as the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Olympic years. During this period, the Olympic medalists received an additional medal from the International Ski Federation (FIS).
On April 6, 2011, the International Olympic Committee officially accepted women's ski jumping into the official Olympic program for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On February 11, 2014, Carina Vogt of Germany won the first gold medal for women's ski jumping at the Winter Olympic Games.

Bergisel Ski Jump

The Bergisel Ski Jump (German: Bergiselschanze), whose stadium has a capacity of 26,000, is a ski jumping hill located in Bergisel in Innsbruck, Austria. It is one of the more important venues in the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, annually hosting the third competition of the prestigious Four Hills Tournament.
Its first competitions were held in the 1920s using simple wood constructions. The larger hill was first built in 1930 and was rebuilt before the 1964 Winter Olympics for the individual large hill event. Twelve years later, the venue hosted the same event in the 1976 Winter Olympics. The hill in its current form was finished in 2003 and was designed by the British Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid.

Große Olympiaschanze

The Große Olympiaschanze (English: Great Olympic Hill) is a ski jumping hill located on the Gudiberg, south of the district of Partenkirchen of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany, and is traditionally the venue of the Four Hills Tournament's New Year's jumping. The hill is part of a complex that also includes the K-80, K-43 and K-20 ski hills.
At the 1936 Winter Olympics, the venue hosted the ski jumping event and the ski jumping part of the Nordic combined event. The outrun of the ski jump formed the ski stadium which held the opening and closing ceremonies and the start / finish area of the cross-country skiing competitions.
A world cup competition is held there every year on January 1, as a part of the Four Hills Tournament.
The first ski jumping hill on the site of the current facility was built in 1921. It was demolished in 1933 to build the Olympic ski jumping hill for the 1936 Winter Olympics. It opened on 5 February 1934. Over the years, the ski jumping hill was expanded four times (in 1950, 1978, 1996 and 2007). Due to a required upgrade of the jump to the advanced technical standards of the International Ski Federation (FIS), the construction of an entirely new ski jump was inevitable. Among projects by Zaha Hadid Architects, Behnisch Architects and others, an international architectural competition in autumn 2006 led to the decision to erect a cantilevering structure as the new landmark of ski sports, designed by terrain:loenhart&mayr. Construction at the site started on April, 26th 2007. The grand opening ceremony at the Continental Cup / Four Hills Tournament was on New Year's Day 2008. The tower offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valley of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Adjacent to the ski jumps is the Gudiberg alpine slalom piste, upgraded prior to the 2011 World Championships.
The current hill record is held by Michael Hayböck who jumped 145 m during the annual New Year's Ski Jump on 1 January 2025.
