As promised, I have the third episode
of the visiting Ski Jumping hills series for you
In total, this is the eleventh episode of this series
After the hills at Hinterzarten and Einsiedeln, it is time
for another object associated mainly with the Summer Grand Prix
Today we will visit the ski jumping hills located in Klingenthal
Hardly anyone realizes that there are three ski jumping hills in this city
However, they are separate complexes and are nearly 10 kilometers apart
At the beginning our destination are of course, the hill
with dimensions of K125 and HS140, where for many years
the final of the summer jumping cycle has taken place
As it turned out, I had a lot of luck coming to that place just that day
because on the hill the Slovenian B representation
which includes among others, Nejc Dezman, Tomaz Naglić,
Ernest Prislic, Jaka Hvala, Jurij Tepes, and also
the 2012 World Ski Jumping Champion Robert Kranjec was training
After the training, I even managed to take a picture with him
Earlier, while the training was still in progress
the aforementioned Robert Kranjec jumped a distance
of about 147 meters, which would be a new hill record
if the jump was given in official competition
You can see this jump right now
You can get to top of Vogtland Arena with a very characteristic train
from which you can observe the ski jumping hill very closely
Unfortunately, just when I was entering the mountain
the jumpers had a short break because of
the need to rehydrate the plastic mattings
The modern structure supporting the inrun
makes a really big impression, just like the whole object
Of all the ski jumping hills I have visited so far
this definitely seemed the most modern and neat
You can take the elevator to get to the top of the in-run
and watch the Slovenians jump from an unusual perspective
You could also enter the room, where during competitions
ski jumpers are waiting for their turn
From that place watching jumps really makes a huge impression
As usual, at this point let's take a look at the history
of the Vogtland Arena in Klingenthal
Just like the ski jumping hills at Einsiedeln, which we visited two days ago
in 2003, building of a large hill in Klingenthal began
while completion of building took place over two years later
Since 2006, except for 2015, the final of the Summer Grand Prix
took place here every year
In the years 2007-2016, with a break only in 2008
there were World Cup competitions
In 2009-2013 there were also competitions
as part of the team tournament FIS Team Tour
while in the years 2013-2015 on this object the World Cup cycle was inaugurated
Since the 2017/18 season, the Klingenthal place
in the World Cup schedule was taken by another
German ski jumping hill, located in Titisee-Neustadt
The official winter recordist of the object is
Michael Uhrmann thanks to his 146.5 meters long jump in 2011
Better than him was Philip Sjoen, who jumped 148 meters in 2014
but his jump ended with a fall and Marius Lindvik, who
during training before the Continental Cup
competition in 2018 jumped 149.5 meters
A summer record of the object belongs to three ski jumpers
In 2007, Gregor Schlierenzauer jumped 143.5 meters here
The jump on exactly the same distance during the
Summer Grand Prix was given by Kamil Stoch
and Maciej Kot, respectively in 2010 and 2016
Further than them jumped, among others, Vegard Haukø Sklett
who during the training for the Summer Continental Cup
jumped 147 meters and Robert Kranjec who jumped 147
during my visit at the ski jump hill
Let's talk again about our sightseeing around the
ski jump hill, it was easy to go to the very threshold
of the ski jump, which is 3 meters and 25 centimeters high
From that place, I recorded, among other things
the Robert Kranjec's take-off in slow motion
which gives us a really interesting effect
This is where our visit on the K125 ski jump ended
but according to what I said at the beginning of the video
there is another Vogtlandschanzen ski jumping complex in Klingenthal
The complex consists of two objects K65 and K85
The history of this complex is much longer than the K125
They were builded in 1933 and have been modernized many times since then
The last renovation took place here in 2013
During my visit around the hills, training of young German
jumpers and female jumpers was taking place there
The jumps are built in a very characteristic way
Two separate run-ups lead to one, common landing
A similar solution is used on the Czech hills in Liberec
An interesting fact is also the T-bar lift, which is
extremely rare on ski jumping hills
Personally, I met this type of lift on the ski jumping hill for the first time in my life
This is where our visit ended
As I mentioned in the last episode of the series
we will see next ski jumping hills next month
Finally, I would like to invite you to visit the
official Skijumping TV store for fans of ski jumping
In the store you can find, among other things, sweatshirts
with printed ski jumping hills, which I have visited so far
Today, of course, the sweatshirt with the print
of the hill in Klingenthal comes to this collection
A link to the store can be found in the description
