Lake Placid’s World Cup ski jump canceled

Lake Placid’s big ski jumping World Cup event this December is officially off the calendar, all because of a surprise structural issue at the Olympic Jumping Complex. The steel supports under the observation deck need urgent repairs, and there’s no safe way for athletes to access the jumps while that’s happening. The event is moving to Germany instead, which is a huge letdown for local fans and businesses who count on the excitement and crowds. The good news? The smaller hill is still open for training, and Lake Placid is already set to host more world-class competitions soon. What do you think this means for our community? #Sports #LakePlacid #SkiJumping
