Norwegian Ski Jumpers and Staff Suspended for Cheating at World Championships

The Norwegian Ski Federation admitted to manipulating jumpsuits in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage, leading to disqualifications and ongoing investigations.

Two Norwegian ski jumpers, Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, were disqualified from the men's large hill event after their suits were found to violate equipment rules.
The Norwegian Ski Federation suspended coach Magnus Brevik and equipment manager Adrian Livelten, who admitted to altering the suits by sewing in reinforced seams for extra lift.
A video showing the alterations prompted the federation to acknowledge the cheating and apologize to other nations, fans, and organizers.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation has launched an investigation into the incident, with Norway pledging full cooperation.
Both disqualified athletes denied knowledge of the suit manipulation, expressing heartbreak over the impact on their reputations and the sport.
