History

The first hill at Midtstubakken was built in 1927, and was renovated several times. The normal hill jumping and Nordic combined for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1966 and FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1982 were held in Midtstubakken, as will they be for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011. The superstructure was demolished in 1992, although an all-new hill opened in 2010 for the 2011 World Championships.[2] On 6 September 2010, Maren Lundby made the first jump in the hill, and landed on 87 meters.[3]
