Kongsberg presenting sponsor of Vikersund 2012
Kongsberg Gruppen (KONGSBERG) and the International Ski Federation (FIS) have announced that KONGSBERG, a leading high-technology supplier of industry, has become the presenting sponsor of the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2012 in Vikersund (NOR). The agreement was negotiated by FIS Marketing AG, an independent company tasked with the sales and handling of FIS controlled marketing rights.
The FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2012, to be held from 23rd-26th February, represent the 22nd edition of the biennial event that has been staged since 1972. The Vikersund ski flying hill was recently rebuilt and officially opened last February with FIS World Cup competitions. It is considered to be the world's largest hill facility and local jumper Johan Remen Evensen promptly set the current world record of 246.5 meters during the inaugural event there on 11th February 2011.
"FIS is extremely pleased to welcome KONGSBERG on board as a partner for one of FIS's landmark events. Ski Flying is the dream of every ski jumper and fascination of every ski jumping enthusiast. The three days of competition at Vikersund next February are again sure to thrill the world of sports," commented FIS President Gian Franco Kasper.
