What is the name of the ski-jumping hill used for the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics?

The story behind the answer

Lysgårdsbakken was the ski-jumping hill used for the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.

The complex in Lillehammer, Norway, contains a normal hill and a large hill. It hosted the Olympic individual and team ski-jumping competitions, as well as the opening ceremony. The large hill had a K-point of 120 metres for the 1994 Games, while the normal hill had a K-point of 90 metres.

The venue remains one of Lillehammer's best-known Olympic sites and continues to host competitions and training. Its name is often written with the Norwegian letter å, although the spelling is sometimes simplified in English-language references.

Holmenkollen is another famous Norwegian ski-jumping venue, located in Oslo, and Bergisel is in Innsbruck, Austria. Neither hosted the 1994 Olympic ski-jumping events, making the venue's exact name the key distinction.
