Overview
- FIS confirmed stricter pre-jump checks in Milan and Cortina, including redesigned suits, 3D body and suit measurements, and tamper-proof RFID chips to flag post-approval changes.
- A new soccer-style yellow and red card system will penalize equipment violations, with sanctions escalating to disqualification for serious or repeat offenses.
- The measures respond to last year's World Championships, where Norway illegally enlarged the crotch area of suits, resulting in suspensions for coaches, staff, and three-month bans for Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang.
- Lindvik and Forfang have completed their suspensions and are cleared to compete at these Olympics.
- Some outlets have reported unverified claims of injectable genital enlargement to influence measurements, though no athlete has been formally accused of such practices.
