The construction was made entirely of wood. The record of distance, set by Mieczysław Kozdrun, was 41 m. In the following years the ski jumping hill was th renovated . It underwent the considerable changes in the 60s and 70s of the 20 century. Then there was build the judges tower, the steel in-run and the calculation line was moved to 105 meter. The first jumper who beat the distance of 100 m. was Janusz Malik. The hill record belongs to Wojciech Skupien who reached the distance of 112.5 m. at the Polish Seniors Championships during the last competition held on the “old” hill. In the meantime In October 2003 the foundation act of conversion of the ski jumping hill in Wisla was signed. The original of the document placed in a special silver tube was built in as the corner stone during the construction work in 2005. The work went according to the plan until August 2006 when a landslide of the landing hill occurred. Eventually the opening of the ski jumping hill took place not at the end of July 2007 but in September of the following year. 11 A The first competition The first competition held on the newly built hill was combined with the official th th opening ceremony.
