New shine for Saalfelden: 5.2 million euros for ski jumping innovation!
Something is happening in the area of ski jumping in Saalfelden! The ski jumps in the Felix Gottwald ski jumping stadium were brought into shape with an investment of around 5.2 million euros. This extensive renovation, in which the state, federal government, municipality and the local tourism association worked hand in hand, aims to promote Nordic sports and create a platform for talent and professionals. Salzburg.gv.at reports that the modernized infrastructure is being used intensively not only by top athletes, but also by the region's young ski jumpers.
What is particularly pleasing is the increasing interest among young people in Nordic sports following the renovation work. Athletes like Lisa Eder, the team vice world champion from Trondheim, have already completed their first jumps on the new K85 ski jump and are extremely satisfied with the conditions.
A strong team for sport
State Sports Councilor Martin Zauner emphasizes that Saalfelden has established itself as a Nordic center in the state. Supported by generous state funding of 1.34 million euros, a solid foundation is being laid for future success in skiing. Mayor Erich Rohrmoser emphasizes the excellent cooperation between the various sponsors, which made it possible to turn this sporting vision into reality.
In the region, athletes can benefit from a wide range of educational institutions, such as the ski middle school, the five-year ski high school and a sports branch in the four-year high school. These offers make a significant contribution to the training and promotion of young talent.
In summary, with the modernization of the ski jumps, Saalfelden has taken an excellent step towards a prosperous future in Nordic sports. It remains to be seen what success the athletes will achieve in the coming years.
Whether in Saalfelden or in other parts of Austria, the commitment to sport remains unbroken. There are similar funding programs in other federal states, such as the “Modern Sports Facility 2022” program in North Rhine-Westphalia, which polishes up the infrastructure for sports clubs and can serve as a model. Here, numerous local actors make their contribution to strengthening the sports location. Further information for interested clubs can be found on the website LSB NRW.
