Isak Andreas Langmo's disqualification at Planica highlights ongoing enforcement of stricter regulations following the World Championship controversy.
- Isak Andreas Langmo, a Norwegian ski jumper, was disqualified during the Planica World Cup qualification for wearing an oversized suit, deemed to provide an unfair advantage.
- This marks the latest fallout from the Trondheim World Championship scandal, where Norwegian athletes were found to have illegally modified their suits to increase lift.
- The FIS has suspended eight Norwegian athletes and officials, including Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, for the remainder of the season as investigations continue.
- Discussions are underway to potentially revise World Championship results, which could see Germany's Andreas Wellinger awarded a gold medal and Karl Geiger a bronze.
- The FIS has introduced interim rules, including limiting athletes to one suit per competition, and is considering stricter penalties and reforms to restore credibility in the sport.
