SCHUCHINSK

Resort city in northern Kazakhstan, in Akmola Region. The city got its name due to the abundance of pike-fishes (in russian: "schuka") in the nearest lake.

The city is located in the beautiful area, surrounded by evergreen forests and deep blue lakes.

Population of the city is 45000.

Schuchinsk is proud for its ski traditions. It gave to the world famous Kazakh skiers as Olympic champion Vladimir Smirnov and WSC medalist Nikolay Chebotko.

Thanks to its excellent ski and biathlon tracks, as well as excellent weather conditions, the city is a favorite base for Kazakhstanis and foreign athletes in winter sports. Modern ski jumping hills K-125 (HS 140) and K-90 (HS 99) were opened in Schuchinsk three years ago. This was the beginning of the development of such new sports for the city as Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined. After a forced break, two years later, Schuchinsk will again host leading flying skiers from all over the world.

Then two summer world records were immediately set: Slovenian Jurij Tepeš made a record 156 meters jump, but touched the surface with his hand upon landing, and Kazakhstani Sergey Tkachenko made a clean jump of 151 meters - this is the world's longest successful summer ski jump.
