Overview

• FIS approved minimal enlargements to women's suits, increasing circumference allowance by 1 centimeter and adding 2 centimeters in the crotch to reduce flight and landing speeds.
• The safety push followed three serious knee injuries at the Olympic test event in Predazzo to Eva Pinkelnig, Alexandria Loutitt and Haruka Kasai.
• A new material-control regime brings Technical Approval inspections, electronic chipping of suits and a reduced season quota of nine suits per athlete.
• FIS replaced its material controller with former jumper Mathias Hafele and introduced yellow and red cards, with repeat suit violations triggering multi-event bans.
• Athlete criticism persists after Norway's Trondheim suit-manipulation scandal, with Daniel Tschofenig accusing rivals of cheating as Marius Lindvik and Johann-André Forfang return from three-month suspensions.
