History:
In Nizhny Novgorod (from 1932 to 1990, the city was known as Gorky), ski jumping began to gain popularity among the youth even before World War II. One of the popular places for practicing this sport was the ravine at the Shchelkovskaya farm in the village of Kuznechikha. It is known that a snow ski jump functioned there, on the basis of which a more permanent structure was later built. Local skiers themselves initiated the construction of simple snow structures that they used for training. They quickly began to achieve success in Nordic combined as well, with Vasily Glasson winning national competitions in 1934 and Mikhail Zhukov becoming the USSR champion in 1938.
Kuznechikha later became a district of the city. In 1976, a sports complex was built there, consisting of four ski jumps ranging in size from 5 to 35 meters. The facilities were likely used only for training purposes, but this did not last long, as they were abandoned in the 1990s. Currently, the complex is completely deserted and deteriorating, although the metal structures of the inrun towers are still standing.
