Bloudkova velikanka (officially "Velika Rožman/Bloudkova skakalnica" and English translation is Bloudek's Giant and "Rožman/Bludek's Ski Jumping Hill") is large K-130 ski jumping hill Planica, Slovenia.
Contents |
It was built in 1934, and named after Slovene engineers Stane Rožman who started and Stanko Bloudek who finished the construction. It was renovated in 1945 and closed in 2001. The first ski jump in over 100 meters in history was achieved here on Bloudkova velikanka in 1936 by the Austrian Sepp Bradl.
Bloudkova velikanka was in use until 2001, when the upper part of the hill which standed in the air, was demolished by itself. Record holder of this hill is Noriaki Kasai who jumped 147,5 meters in World Cup 1998, which was also the world record for large K-130 hills at that time. That year the last international competition was held here.
In 1996 there was an international exhibition competition, which was won by Primož Peterka.
Inrun incline is 36,5° and table jump incline is 11°.
