1968 Winter Olympics

The commune hosted the ski jumping individual large hill event for the 1968 Winter Olympics held in neighboring Grenoble, which was on the Le Moucherotte. Its hill had a calculation or K-point of 90 meters and was constructed between July 1966 and January 1967. During training, the longest jump reached was 112 meters. Final construction continued throughout the summer of 1967. During the 1968 Games, it seated 50,000 spectators.[2]

gollark: On my desktop anyway, not the laptop.
gollark: Windows would use >30GB, has ads everywhere, would likely take longer to boot, does not as far as I know do good full disk encryption, generally tends to run slowly and randomly use excessive resources for no reason, and I would *need to pay for it*.
gollark: My Arch install fits in 20GB or so, and I could cut it further if I actually cared, has no ads, boots in 25 seconds off my SSD to a usable desktop including time to enter my encryption key and password, and runs blazing fast.
