After the ski jumping scandal for deliberately manipulated suits, the Norwegians have the first personnel consequences at the management level. The day after the end of the Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim, coach Magnus Brevig was suspended as well as the employee who was also involved.
The association thus draws the consequences of the suit fraud that sports director Jan Erik Aalbu had gotten under growing pressure on Sunday.
Anonymously filmed and published videos had caused great excitement in ski jumping since Saturday. The moving images show how the Norwegian team processes the competition suits in an inadmissible way in the presence of the 41 -year -old Brevig.
“What we did is manipulate or modify the suits in such a way that they violate the rules. It was a conscious act, and consequently it is fraud,” Brevig was quoted. “It was a joint decision, but I should have stopped it as a head coach.” He deeply regrets his behavior.
The Norwegians had attached an unauthorized seam to ensure more stability. Jene also helps the jumpers to fly in the air.
Aalbu had already announced consequences, he himself didn’t want to have known anything about the scandalous practices.
Bine Norcic takes over for the time being
Immediately after the large hill, in which Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang were disqualified, Aalbu had spoken of a “regular violation”. Only later did he admit fraud, but the sports director continues to enjoy the association’s trust.
The coaching office now takes over the former Slovenian ski jumper Bine Norcic.
Hannawald calls for drastic all -round
Sven Hannawald has also stunned the headlines of the past few days. In an interview with RTL/NTV and sport.de Requires Germany’s ski jumping legend a drastic all-round of the World Association.
“I think I would throw everyone out,” said Hannawald. “I’m not only talking about the ski jumping of women and men, but also of the combination. I would throw out everyone who has won medals that come from Norway.”

If the FIS director would have to take up his hat for this resort, “I don’t care,” said the “ARD” expert for ski jumping. In view of the Norwegian fraud, “a clear sign” is needed.
