History edit
Sondre Norheim set the second men's ski jumping world record in history and only one on this hill with 19.5 meters (64 ft) on 8 March 1868.[1][2][3]
Originally, distance was measured in ells, an old Norwegian unit. One Norwegian ell (alen) equaled 62.75 centimetres. The first recorded ski jump[clarification needed] was originally measured at 31 ells (19.5 metres).[nb 1]
In 1986, Morgedal IL club, built two new K20 and K40 hills, called Hauglandsbakken, on the exact same spot as the old historic hill.[clarification needed] They are now also abandoned.

Note edit
- ^ Tim Ashburner tells in the book The history of ski jumping (ISBN 1-904057-15-2, p. 14) that Norheim's longest jump in the circuit in Hauglibakken should have been measured at 50 Norwegian ells / alen (31.5 meters as one ell was then equal to 62.75 cm), but that the newspapers in Christiania stated that the length "with a certain exaggeration" should have been 30 ells (19 metres). However all statistics cites 19.5 metres as the world record, which corresponds to 31 ells.
