Ski jumping is a very simple sport: 50 guys climb the hill in the beginning and Kamil Stoch climbs top of the podium in the end.
Last season, it was Pragelato's Olympic Hills. Now it's Calgary's.

This will mean that the only operational ski jumping hills in Canada are at Whistler.
As the young jumper that posted this says, how is this supposed to grow the sport?
And, as she also says, what happened to the Olympic Legacy obligations? (And that goes for both Pragelato and Calgary).
I don't like the way this is going.
As I said earlier in this thread, the operators need to find additional ways to utilise the hills so that they are not reliant solely on jumpers, because there are not enough of them to generate enough income to cover the costs of running the hills. And if jumps keep closing, there will be even fewer people taking up ski jumping. Creating a vicious circle.

Ski Jumping season is on! We start today with Team Event at 16.00! And it's Wisła, so I predict at least one Pole on podium
