The K-92 normal ski jump at the Puijo complex in Kuopio, Finland, has been demolished. The facility held historical significance for international competitors, including Polish champions Adam Małysz and Kamil Stoch. 

Local officials decided to dismantle the structure due to technical concerns, specifically a judging tower that posed a risk of collapse, and determined the facility was no longer economically viable to maintain. While the surrounding area will be renovated, Finnish ski jumping experts have expressed concern that the loss of this medium-sized hill creates a training gap for young athletes transitioning between small and large hills.
