Norwegian Ski Jumping Team Faces Suspensions Over Suit Manipulation Scandal

Five athletes and three officials have been suspended following revelations of illegal modifications to ski suits at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) has suspended five Norwegian ski jumpers, including world champions Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, for suit manipulation during the Nordic World Ski Championships.
Three additional athletes—Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal, Robert Johansson, and Robin Pedersen—were suspended after initially continuing to compete during training sessions.
The Norwegian Ski Federation admitted to tampering with the suits of Lindvik and Forfang, though both athletes claim they were unaware of the illegal modifications.
Anonymously leaked videos revealed the suit manipulations, leading to widespread scrutiny; further secret footage from other teams, including Austria, has raised questions but lacks evidence of wrongdoing.
Despite the scandal, Norwegian female ski jumpers, who were not implicated, performed strongly at the Holmenkollen event, securing podium finishes.
