Because they made illegal changes to their suits, numerous ski jumping stars from Norway were suspended on the edge of the World Cup in Trondheim. Marius Lindvik and Co. continue to emphasize that they have known nothing about it. The overall World Cup winner Daniel Tschofenig brings the athletes to the palm.
“You knew it. We all agree very well and I just can’t find that correct,” emphasized the Austrian in conversation with the “Tyrolean daily newspaper” and follows: “You have brought the whole ski jumping into disrepute and stand out as if you were the victim of the whole. It is the whole ski jumping.”
The 22-year-old and his team had guessed that the competition from Scandinavia was not fair. “We have often thought why things look a bit strange for them,” said Tschofenig: “I understand that in principle everyone wants to get the best out. But when things go into a gray area, I say: Is that still acceptable?”
Ski jumping: “I find that under all sow”
He did not want to advance in this gray area, the ÖSV-eagle continued: “I definitely don’t want to go into illegal. It can also happen that you get a disqualification if you are just a centimeter there. But I find this tactical shit under all sow.”
It has been over six months since the scandal for manipulated suits in the Norwegian ski jumping team. Marius Lindvik, Johan Andre Forfang and Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal were pulled out of circulation in the course of the home World Cup and were no longer allowed to take part in competitions until the end of winter.
For the new season, which will be opened in Lillehammer on November 21, all ski jumpers can start again as usual.
