The technological war in ski jumping was supposed to influence the competition of ski jumpers during the Olympic Games and it did. It’s not just about. After the competition on the large hill in Zhangjiakou, there are just as many questions about the equipment.
Illegal Geiger suit? Compromising photos from the competition on the large hill
The most important question seems to be about the suit, which won the bronze medal by 4.1 points ahead of Kamil Stoch. .
The Geiger suit was so big on them that it looked almost embarrassing. . The Russian sensation of the Beijing Olympics frankly wrote in an Instagram post: “Rules? Nice”.
Jukkar on the Geiger suit: Difficult to judge
We asked FIS equipment controller, Mike Jukkara, to comment on the pictures of the Geiger suit. – It’s hard to judge. The shots from the jump departure perspective are treacherous. I think all the players look about the same bad in this position, uncomfortable with the suit. If we look at the outfit in flight, it will look more or less the same as the others. I also suppose that the suit was changed to a second series. At this point I cannot say more, assessed the Finn.
After this news, we sent Jukkar’s photos of Geiger with a comparison to Ryoyu Kobayashi or Kamil Stoch in the outgoing position, as well as a comparison of Geiger’s position in flight in both series of Saturday’s competition. Each of them indicated that the suit was inadequate.
The style of Yukkara’s response may surprise you. – I know that I have a lot of work ahead of me for everything to develop in the future. That’s what I’ve started to do, and we need big changes for next season. Unfortunately, we cannot change anything in the control of players at the moment – indicated the FIS activist.
