It was the venue of Husebyrennet, Norway's and the world's most prestigious Nordic skiing tournament between 1879 and 1891. With a K-point at 20 metres.
The hill originally hosted Husebyrennet ("The Huseby Race"), between 1879 and 1891, except for 1880 and 1882, when the event was held in Akershus. From 1892, the tournament moved to Holmenkollbakken and was renamed the Holmenkollen Ski Festival.
Two world records were set in the hill, both by Norwegians: 20 metres (86 ft) by Olaf Haugann in 1879 and 22 metres (72 ft) set by Sveinung Svalastoga in 1881.

gollark: Why not?
gollark: “Does creating physics violate the NAP? While I benefit from the laws of physics making life possible, it also imposes constrictions unto me that I did not consent to. I didn't ask to be born, and I didn't ask to be subjected to gravity, so once I'm done suing my mom, I'm suing God.”

gollark: I feel like if I *did* have some sort of dead man's switch it would lose any sort of power through being activated accidentally or ironically.
gollark: It should also wipe your search history.
