Overview
- Langmo lost consciousness during a suit chipping control on Wednesday, saying he was very nervous and briefly saw black.
- Officials postponed the inspection after the collapse and granted him a second check on Sunday, which he cleared before qualifying.
- During qualification a zipper on his left arm was found open, leading to disqualification and an initial yellow card that was subsequently withdrawn.
- The FIS card system issues a yellow for a first equipment breach and escalates to yellow‑red on a second, triggering a two‑event ban and a national start‑slot loss.
- Suit enforcement has been stricter since the Trondheim manipulation scandal; Langmo was also disqualified in March at Planica, and Norway’s sports director cited possible illness and pressure as factors in the collapse.
