Raukleiv

Raukleiv (or Raudkleiv) was a ski jumping hill located near Asenvegen in Seljord, Norway. It has been opened and subsequently closed in 1886 and 1975. Following renewed investment in the last decade, the site has once again reopened. It now features ski slopes, ski jumping hills, and a biathlon stadium.

History

On 24 February 1886, the first Siljordsskirendet ski competition took place at Raukleiv. Norwegian soldier Johannes Nordgården jumped 27 metres (89 ft), but it was not recognised. Later that day, Olaf Bergland, also from Norway, landed at 25.5 metres (84 ft), setting a new official world record distance in ski jumping.
