About this audio guide
This guide to Miyanomori Ski Jump Stadium in Sapporo returns to February 6, 1972, when a hometown crowd on this exact hill watched twenty-six-year-old ski jumper Yukio Kasaya take on the seventy-meter hill at the freshly built stadium during the Sapporo Winter Olympics. It follows what happened around him that afternoon and how his run was received back home. You'll hear how the hill itself changed afterward, stretched to ninety meters and resurfaced for year-round training. Stand at the base of the slope, then take the chairlift for the same view Kasaya had before his run.
