National Ski Jumping Center

The National Ski Jumping Center, known as the Snow Ruyi, is the iconic mountain venue of the Zhangjiakou competition zone for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. It covers approximately 62 hectares and is located at the northwest corner of the Guyangshu cluster, 600 meters north of the Guyangshu main entrance plaza. Its competition venue form aligns with the traditional Chinese ruyi scepter ornament, comprising the mountain-top summit club, the downhill spectator stands, the competition area, and the comprehensive zone. The mountain-top summit club is primarily for post-Games sightseeing and conferences. The downhill stands are divided into north and south sections: the south stand houses spectator seating, media seating, and commentator booths, with the technical building beneath it containing Olympic family rooms; the north stand provides spectator seating. The competition area consists of two hills, the large hill HS140 and the normal hill HS106, with the judge's tower on the normal hill side. A mixed zone for interviews is located south of the finish area, and a ceremony area to the east. The athlete comprehensive zone is located at the start level of the mountain normal hill. Parking, a helicopter landing pad, and a training jump are provided north of the downhill stands, while a broadcast comprehensive area is to the south. The project by THAD creates a Winter Olympics venue that is both functionally world-class and culturally expressive, using the ruyi form as a Chinese cultural symbol on the global stage.
