History:
In the village of Shopino, very close to Kvan, the first private ski-jumping complex in Kaluga was built around 1985. Its creator and owner is Yevgeny Fedorovich Nilov, a professional coach, who bought a plot of land in Shopino and decided to build facilities and create a real ski jumping school. Five ski jumping hills from 5 to 55 metres were built and in the 1990s youngsters from Kaluga were training there regularly. Also athletes from Murmansk were coming here, one of them was even an Olympic medallist later on. In order to enable the jumpers to jump also outside of the winter season, coach Nilov tried to construct an artificial inrun track. After several experiments, this resulted in an invention, to which we should also add a special press that allowed him to carry out the entire inrun track production process himself. In 1999, Nilov even received a patent for the design of the artificial inrun track, so that he not only equipped his own ski jumps with it, but also realised orders from outside. However, the funds were not sufficient, no one supported the local coach-builder. The technical condition of the complex in Shopino deteriorated year by year and, although it still stands today, no one jumps here anymore.
