HISTÓRIA RED BULL 400 in Slovenia
The Red Bull 400 is the toughest steep ski jump in the world. There is a rule where the competition is held – “four rounds” can only be done on the ski jumping bridge. In 2018, the chancellor had the chance to take the race to the High Tatras, but this year the event returns to the same location for the fifth time. On the Štrbské Pleso bridge (marked HS 136), which was the last bridge used during the 2003 Red Bull 400 Ski Freestyle.
The idea of using ski bridges for running in summer came under fire in 2011 by Austrian Andreas Berger. The challenge is clear, to overcome the classic 400-meter movement distance on an unconventional track for ski jumping. From the end of the slope to rozjazdový lávku, the maximum inclination angle is 37 degrees (75% prevýšenie). The Red Bull 400 is thus the shortest but most extreme 400m race in the world.
