Eisenbichler Criticizes New Ski Jumping Rule Over Landing Technique

The new rule emphasizes the Telemark landing, a change that Markus Eisenbichler argues unfairly shifts power to judges.

The new ski jumping rule requires athletes to perform a Telemark landing to avoid point deductions.
Markus Eisenbichler expressed frustration, claiming the rule penalizes long jumps where the Telemark is harder to execute.
Eisenbichler believes the rule gives judges excessive influence over competition outcomes.
The 33-year-old athlete criticized the International Ski Federation for implementing this change.
Eisenbichler fears the rule could prevent the best jumper from winning, undermining the fairness of the sport.
