“This could be the biggest scandal in history jumps. According to information Sport.pl In the environment of the best jumpers' staff, there have been doubts for some time as to whether there is no manipulation regarding the chipping of overalls. We have a video that raises doubts and which was shown in the International Ski Federation (Fis). A jury meeting took place, where the possibilities were discussed disqualification. The matter is very serious – it may concern the manipulation of the equipment in the Norway national team ” – Jakub Balcerski wrote on Saturday afternoon, just before the start of the competition on a large hill.

As a result, Marius Lindvik was deprived of a silver medal. Jan Hoerl finished second, and Ryoyu Kobayashi jumped in third place. Disqualified Norwegian Johann Andre Forfang also became.
– We had to open Norwegian overalls to see that they were cheating. We couldn't do it during the competition. This is one of the darkest days for ski jumping, we will think about further consequences – said Sandro Pertile jumping head. In short, the storm after the incident with the chipping and stitching of Norwegian overalls was and is still huge.
On Sunday, the players themselves spoke in the whole thing, who jumped in prohibited costumes. – We apologize that we did not have the courage to talk to the media after what happened yesterday – they began at a press conference, cited by the Dagbladet.no portal.

– We athletes are also required to ensure that the overalls lie well, but we did not have any procedures that would allow you to control the work of auxiliary staff, for example checking seams, etc. We must draw conclusions from this. Now we want complete transparency in terms of what happened. We are looking forward to talking to FIS investigators – Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang ended.
