, the coach of the German national team, was treated as the biggest loser after the first Olympic Games. But after the second competition you could say that he yanked out his. The bronze medal of Karl Geiger was the minimum plan for these games – thanks to this, the German jumpers will not come back from Beijing empty-handed. However, the style in which they fight for medals can be disgusting.
During the Saturday competition, the Finnish expert on ski jumping, hiding under the pseudonym Ononalka, published a photo of a Geiger suit that was embarrassing to the Germans, ahead of it by 4.1 points in the final classification.
You can clearly see that the Geiger suit is definitely too big. Especially in the waist and crotch area of the jumper. The outfit is collapsing mercilessly. Recall that the regulations say that the suit may have from 1 to 3 centimeters of slack, but the waist should be almost exactly close to the jumper’s body. Does the Geiger suit meet these standards? Judge for yourself.
The German jumpsuit from Saturday’s competition is also worth comparing with other jumpers, incl. Stochem and. In the photos below they are almost exactly in the same position where Geiger was caught. You can see the difference.
Horngacher showed what he thinks about rules and controls
It is evident that the Germans exaggerated again. Horngacher played va banque and hoped that the controller, Mika Jukkar, would not have as much cold blood as his colleague Agnieszka Baczkowska, who on Monday during the mixed competition disqualified everyone who significantly exceeded the limits. The Polish hardware inspector announced that she would not pass the frauds and kept her word. It gave a clear signal that the FIS should fight fraud. Fight cancer that kills ski jumping. In men’s jumps for years there is no one who would have the courage to put an end to it.
Everyone can see that the jumpers cheat and they do it in a perfidious way – just like Geiger in the Olympic competition. And the fact that even the jumpers notice it is embarrassing for the FIS. Several dozen minutes after the competition, the Russian Dani³ Sadriejew showed a photo of the Geiger suit and asked eloquently: “Recipes? Nice”.

That he does not expect such a large number of disqualifications in Saturday’s men’s competition. And it looks like everyone took advantage of it. You can bet that all jumpers had too big suits. Even one of the foreign coaches tells us that. – I don’t want to comment on it under the name, but you can see with the naked eye that everyone’s outfits are too big. And the Germans just exaggerated.
Horngacher outsmarted the FIS again. “Germans do what they want”
The suits are one thing, but it is also worth noting that the Germans at the Olympics jump without sensors (white cubes on the front bindings) that show all the jumping data. Other competitors, just after exiting the threshold, have a measured speed of 30 meters and on landing. They also have a measured angle of the skis and other indicators that are not shown in the television broadcast. Germany doesn’t have that. Why?

World Cup director Sandro Pertile told us that “the ski manufacturer does not allow this and the Germans are forced to use extra weight to compensate for it.” In the case of Germans it is a weight behind the rear binding covered with a black tape.
Only that this is a very strange translation, because the Germans jump on Fischers, ie skis of the same company, used by Stoch – the Pole has a sensor mounted on them. We did not get any answers to additional and specific questions from the FIS authorities …
We remember, however, that when in 2018 the FIS wanted to introduce sensors, then … Horngacher, who then led the Polish national team, was their first opponent. He did not want to share with the world data on the jumps of Poles. No wonder that now he did everything so that the Mute would not have them also at the Olympics.
This, however, only shows that in ski jumping they are equal and equal. – Germany always wants to do something different from others. After all, they also have a new part of the bond. They always do what they want. Horngacher wants to win medals not with quality, but with equipment plays – told us Peter Slatnar, producer of skis and bindings.
