Norwegian Ski Jumping Team Faces Fallout Over Uniform Manipulation Scandal

The Norwegian federation admits to rule violations during the World Championships as investigations by the FIS continue.

Norwegian ski jumping coaches and staff have been suspended after admitting to manipulating competition suits for enhanced stability in flight.
Anonymously recorded videos revealed illegal modifications to the suits, leading to disqualifications of athletes Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang at the World Championships in Trondheim.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has launched an investigation, with initial findings expected to be announced today and potential changes to equipment regulations under consideration.
The Norwegian Ski Federation has pledged full cooperation, handing over all requested suits, but skepticism remains among rival nations about the extent of their transparency.
Despite the scandal, disqualified athletes Lindvik and Forfang are set to compete in the upcoming World Cup events in Oslo and Vikersund.
