In fact, in the first version of the calendar, the FIS had assigned the end of the third week seasonal competitions in Nizhny Tagil. However in September the Russian organizing committee has been declared in default and the event was relocated precisely in Lillehammer.
Therefore in 2016-'17 jumpers will be engaged in these parts both in December than in March, when it will return to the dell'Østlandet region. peculiar situation, but certainly not unprecedented, as had already occurred in the seasons 2005-'06 and 2009-'10.
The dell'Oppland facility has hosted a race forerunners of in March 1984, so it has done consistently part of the program of the World Cup since 1993, except for an interlude between 1999 and 2003.
The competition held in the '80s was disputed on Balbergbakken, trampoline now unused. Since 1993, instead he competes in Lysgårdsbakken Ski Jumping Arena, built for the Winter Olympic Games of 1994 and then renovated in 2007.
To date in this facility you were played 36 first-level competitions (34 World Cup which must be added those of the XVII Olympic Winter Games). The number of events is, however, divided among those were staged on Large Hill (28 + 1) and those of Normal Hill (6 + 1).
In fact, in recent years it has often competed on small trampoline. Sometimes by choice (see coincide with the opening of the women's season), others out of necessity (as happened in 2015, when the strong wind the movement imposed on NH).
They counted 22 different jumpers able to go up to the top step of the podium in Lillehammer, and between them stands unquestionably Gregor Schlierenzauer, who here has imposed 6 times, five on Large Hill (December 2006, March 2008, December 2009, November 2012 , December 2014) and one on Normal Hill (December 2013).
The Austrian has an almost irrational feeling with these trampolines. Here, December 3, 2006, he picked up the first win of his career and has managed to excel in large technical difficulty, as occurred in 2013 and 2014, the day of his latest success of the first level on the snow.
Including Schlierenzauer are eight active athletes to have collected at least a statement.
Simon Ammann and Severin Freund celebrated in 3 different occasions. The Swiss all the more impressive springboard, while the German distributes between Large Hill (1) and Normal Hill (2).
Double hooray for Andreas Kofler (one for diving). They set a time on the big Janne Ahonen (even 21 years ago, back in December 1995), Jakub Janda (December 2005) and Roman Koudelka (December 2014). Instead, he won the small Kenneth Gangnes (December 2015).
On the subject of nations on the top step of Lillehammer they waved seven different flags. Commands the 'Austria with 12 hits, followed by Germany at 8. I am at 5 Norway hostess and Finland, while Switzerland is to 4. The Czech movement brings together three statements, including one as Czechoslovakia.
Interestingly superpowers such as Japan, Poland and Slovenia have never won in these shores.
In the case of the Japanese country there are five squares of honor, four of which came in the 90s and in 2013, thanks to Taku Takeuchi. Double second place for the Slovenes, in both cases thanks to Peter Prevc. The Poles, however, have never done better than third (three times with Adam Malysz and Kamil Stoch).
The official record of the big trampoline (K123 / HS138) belongs to Simon Ammann 6 December 2009 went to 146 meters (over 8 Hs). As for the small trampoline (K90 / HS100) the record was established by Karl Geiger, landed at 107.5 meters 6 December 2013.
In this 2016 both races should contend on Large Hill, but around here with Eolo you never know ...
