Where the ski jumping competitions of 2014 Winter Olympics will be hosted: A short presentation of the ski jumping facilities which are part of the PyeongChang, Salzburg and Sochi bids for the 2014 Winter Games.
On July 4, the IOC will decide in Guatemala City, where the Olympic Winter Games 2014 will be arranged. Three candidates have endured the past selections and are now struggling to win the IOC member’s favour. It seems that South- Korean Pyeongchang now has the best chances to get its bid accepted, but Salzburg in Austria and Sochi on the Russian Black Sea coast are still running for the Olympics. Here is a brief presentation of the schemes for the three Olympic ski jumping facilities:
Pyeongchang: Alpensia Jumping Park in Pyeongchang
The “Alpensia Jumping Park“ situated above the applicant city Pyeongchang on 759 m MSL shall include both Olympic hills K125 and K98, as well as three plastic covered junior jumping hills K60, K35, K15. All in all the ski jumping stadium could accommodate 26,000 spectators, thereof 11,000 seats. The overall costs for the whole facility with futuristic inrun tower would be around 50 million Euros and according to the bid book the works will be done until 2008.
Salzburg: Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen
As the major part of sports facilities of the application of Salzburg, the world- famous Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze at Bischofshofen already exists, too. The K125 ski jumping hill situated on 610 m MSL was already modernized in 2003 and as well as the 25,000 accommodating Sepp-Bradl-Stadion it only needs little effort to keep it up-to-date.
