As the Holmenkollen jump nears completion, the International Ski Federation (FIS) certified the 134 long ski jump last week! This means that it meets all technical and safety standards for international ski jump competitions.

The trial championship will be on the 12^th – 14^th of March.

The construction of the new JDS ski jump in Holmenkollen, Oslo is ongoing!  - the pics show the new columns being mounted on the site, Friday 13 Feb.

The columns will be supporting the new 2000 m2 concrete “dome” which will stretch from the foot of the jump-at the end of the steel superstructure - and down to the first tribunes for the public.  The concrete “kulskall” and supportive columns covers the existing Kongeveien and the two public access points to the tribunes.
