Adam Malysz says he's been contacted by people from 'Project Harrachov' in attempt to save the hill complex from becoming a wildlife resort. They last hosted a World Cup event in 2014 and it's been in the doghouse ever since.

 

  Talk about going downhill in five years!

This is so sad to see... I used to go skiing there as a child. The ski hill was right next to the ski jumping one, was totally intact.

Possible, but not logical: a friend saw this guy in the lift of the Bergisel hill a few days ago and Okabe has retired a while back

Harrachov always had problems, but damn it looks like one of those abandoned haunted places.

 has been building a program silently. They actually have 2 jumpers with quotas for the 2020 YOG. Unfortunately, they haven’t meet the minimum requirements yet.

the same goes for  (the most successful so far),  (also have 2020 YOG jumpers), and  (world championships jumpers and YOG jumpers)
