The National Ski Jumping Centre, nicknamed Snow Ruyi, is a Chinese ski jumping hill in Chongli District, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, China, opened in 2021.[2]
It is located northwest from Beijing and hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics in ski jumping and Nordic combined.[3] After the Olympics, the facilities shall serve as a national training centre, potentially also including junior hills to be built. Hill was designed by Zhiang Li, and got its widely known name after "Ruyi", a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good luck.[4] [5]
Beside summer ski jumping on plastic, the flat finish (jump out) area of the hill stadium, with grandstand capacity for 6,000 people, will be also used as a football (soccer) pitch in the summer.
In 2017, construction started and was planned to be completed in 2019. But due to the unconventional location in between two hills, the elaborate works were done in November 2020.
The Olympic ski jumping stadium was then inaugurated with a celebration on 21 December 2020. One month later, on 19 January 2021, CCP general secretary Xi Jinping visited the Olympic sports facilities.[6]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all international test events, including World Cup and Continental Cup, in the 2020–21 season had to be cancelled. Premiere jumps were hosted at Continental Cup in December 2021.[7] [8]

Third place took Canada, a totally unexpected result. Four women's disqualifications due to the irregular dress equipment in teams of Japan, Austria, Germany and Norway, did change the course of the event, especially for the podiums, but did not in any way influenced in a battle for gold, where Slovenia firmly held strong lead from the beginning of the competition.[14] [15]
Due to controversy of four disqualifications at the ski jumping mixed team event and complaints of several national teams, Agnieszka Aga Baczkowska who is responsible for equipment control, told the media what was actually happening behind the scenes. She explained that some of the four disqualified female had the dresses even up to 10 cm too big according to the FIS rules, it was obvious even on the eye.[16]
