Ski jumping does not come to rest. After the Norwegians granted the manipulation of their suits, another part of the equipment has come into focus. The teams are also said to have made illegal changes on the ties. The manufacturer of the parts does not recognize them.
At the beginning of the week, “picture” made you take notice. The tabloid presented a photo of March 2, which is supposed to show a modified and sanded ski jumping bond.
Specifically, the recording should show the skis of Marius Lindvik, which was disqualified after the World Cup due to illegal changes to its suit. Did the world champion also cheat from the normal hill elsewhere?
According to the report, several nations should have complained to the FIS skiing association, since it is not allowed to grind bonds in winter. In addition, the photo is intended to uncover that the bond has not been attached symmetrically, which enables the jumpers to find better into the V-style after the jump. The sanding should also save weight in an unauthorized way.
Confusion about ski jumping bonds
The manufacturer of the ties used by many teams in the World Cup, including the Norwegians, is the Slatnar company. Company boss Peter Slatnar strengthened the suspicion in conversation with “Sport.pl” that the bonds are not right.
The material shown in the published photos is “not of us. “The carbon fiber parts are of us. But the rest of the bond is not. You are made by someone else. I had the opportunity to look at them,” said the company boss.
“Perhaps it was made by another company. I would like to talk to the director of the Norwegian association about it,” said Slatnar Enlightenment.
According to “Sport.pl”, Vikersund then confronted the confrontation between Slatnar and sports director Jan-Erik Aalbu. The results of the dialogue are not known.
