It had a beautiful view of Lower Mokotów, and it became history also because Jan Nowicki left it on a suitcase. It was dismantled a decade ago, because it was properly collapsed. Currency exchange? The plans were bold: a new Warsaw ski jump was to be built at the National Stadium.
– the project is presented, it draws the project in two variants: K-45 and larger K-90. Initial talks at the National Stadium have already taken place. Constructors at the moment of the project, the inrun run will be the most difficult element. A launch tower would be built from scaffolding, a launch site. The threshold, in order to obtain the size, would be either near the crown of the stadium, or a bit further to be stopped by a larger and larger part available towards, the run to the stadium turf – so the jump at the National Stadium is immediately 10 years ago – in 2012 – Apoloniusz Tajner, president of the Polish Ski Association. He proposed to snow in the ice hall, for example in Torwar, and to transport it by trucks to the ski jump.
Adam Małysz was also favorable to the idea. – If you made a show out of it, it makes sense for this idea of the show and people would respectfully come to watch ten competitions – he assessed.
The skiing coins, however, are skeptical, an unusual idea to be treated as a first fools’ day joke. – Three days of jumping would consume a lot of money that goes to the served site. We have jumps in the Beskids and the Tatras that need renovation. The money earmarked for the organizational organization on the national one is supported by the first issue for the Middle Krokiew in Zakopane – Jan Szturc, a decision was made.
The head of the unfortunate Polishrt said that I also had a test with the spine of my eye. It ceased to be when there were photos from the United States. There it was already jumping in the 1930s, and the jumps were built at football stadiums. Photographs from Chicago or Los Angeles – the head of the Ski Federation (FIS) himself, Walter Hofer.
