Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang actually wanted to jump on the RAW-Air tour from Friday. Nothing becomes of it. The FIS suspended the two alleged fraudsters.
Lindvik and Forfang are excluded with immediate effect from participating in FIS competitions and in competitions organized by a national ski association. And until the investigation and judgment procedure has been completed. The same applies to trainers Magnus Brevik and Thomas Lobben as well as Adrian LIVENTEN from the service team.
Due to their alleged participation in equipment manipulations, they are investigated against them when jumping from the large hill of men last Saturday.
“The situation is of course extremely worrying and disappointing”said FIS General Secretary Michel Vion. You work “Tirelessly to carry out a comprehensive and thorough examination as soon as possible and at the same time to ensure fairness and a proper procedure”.
All Norwegian suits confiscated
At the request of the external investigators, the FIS confiscated all the dipped suits on Tuesday by Norwegian teams at the World Championships in Trondheim in 2025. Anonymously filmed and published videos have been causing great excitement in ski jumping since Saturday. On the moving images you can see how the Norwegian team works on competition suits in an inadmissible way. An unauthorized seam was attached, which should provide more stability. The additional stability helps the jumpers to fly in the air.
The scandal has previously led to personnel consequences. Brevig and Lobben were also suspended by the Norwegian association. Livelten also had to go.
