I've heard on our Russian Eurosport that there are plans to rebuild Planica by 2014 to make it the biggest hill in the world again. But i've not found anything on this topic in the Internet (maybe it's because I'm lazy ). So, is that true? And what do you think about it?

Its true,you watched Planica 2012 competition? If answer is yes,you should saw a new planica ,near "the old one" ...

A new flying hill? I thought they will rebuild the old one
Admir, no, I did't speak about the normal/large hills being build in Planca ( I think for their 2017 WNSC bid), but about the rebuilds of Letalnica to make it bigger

You now speak about Letalnica?

I talk about Letalnica,they will make new one (or they even started). Commentator said that and its much cheaper to build new one then to reconstructe this one (moving inrun,moving landing zone,moving whole hill,spectator's place and other...)

they want jumps over 270m. i find an article about that on fisskijumping.com but i don't remember where

That's great that Planica will be the biggest hill in the world again, a bit pity that it will not be plain old Letalnica

Sorry for my bad English

WOW! Mr. Jussi, don't share with us articles with Planica, but you should share with us with new hills ;D

Here's an article with a comparison on how the new hill will look with the current as reference. They will be only moving the inrun up, landing area will stay the same, so they won't have as much digging work to do.
