Overview

  • Isak Andreas Langmo was disqualified during the World Cup Final qualification in Planica for wearing an oversized suit, just weeks after the Trondheim World Championships scandal.
  • The Fis has implemented temporary measures, including limiting athletes to one suit per competition, to curb further manipulation while investigations proceed.
  • Suspensions of five Norwegian athletes and three officials remain in effect, with findings from an external investigation expected by summer 2025.
  • Andreas Wellinger may be retroactively awarded gold for the Normalschanze event if Marius Lindvik's results are annulled due to confirmed suit manipulation.
  • The scandal has exposed long-standing issues in ski jumping, with former athletes admitting to past rule violations, prompting calls for stricter regulations and oversight.
