Norwegians admitted fraud at the World Cup Championship

Norway national jumping from springboard admitted in deception with equipment at the World Cup

The Norwegian national jumping team admitted to the fraud with equipment at the home championship of 2025. It is reported by NRK.

On March 8, the jumpers of Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang, as well as the biathlor, Yorgen Gombak, were disqualified from the tournament. This happened after complaints of several teams and investigations from the International Sports Federation and Snowboard (FIS). As a result, in the inguinal region of the costumes of athletes, a sewn -out thread was found, which is a violation of the rules.

“We faded and this disappointed all lovers of jumping jumps, including ourselves. This was done to improve the flight qualities of costumes. And this was done with a full understanding that this was beyond the framework of the rules and should not be found FIS, ”said the team manager Yan-Eric Aalbu.

The Russians have been suspended from international ski tournaments since March 2022.
