During the Saturday competition, the Finnish expert on ski jumping, hiding under the pseudonym Ononalka, published a photo of a suit that compromised the Germans, which in the final classification was 4.1 points ahead of Kamil Stoch and won a bronze medal. 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.
Bickner specifically about Geiger: It’s absurd
The Karl Geiger suit scandal caused quite a stir in the skijumping community. A lot of people, including some jumpers, have already commented on the German equipment combinations. He reacted quite sharply on Instagram, among others Russian Dani³ Sadriejew. On Sunday, the American Kevin Bickner i was asked to speak on this matter. Their reactions were quite telling.
TVP Sport journalist Filip Czyszanowski showed Bickner a photo of Geiger from Saturday’s competition and asked what he thought about it. – Yes, I saw that. This is absurd. Each team operates on the border of the regulations, but you have to set that border first. You don’t have to check Geiger to know that it’s not ok – admitted the American.
Kubacki: Do you have eyes?
The photo was also shown to Kubacki. – What do you think? the journalist asked. – What will I do for you? – answered the jumper. – You don’t want to say anything so that it won’t be pulled out later? the journalist continued. – And what am I going to tell you? Do you have eyes? – Kubacki asked. – I do, but I am asking for the opinion of the world’s leading jumper.
Kubacki collected his thoughts for a long time, but in the end he said quite specifically. – At the moment it is a thing of the past. Of course it irritates us. It’s hard not to. But what are you going to do with it now? – the brown medalist from the normal hill was wondering
Saturday’s competition is not over yet, however, emotions in ski jumping on. Already on Monday there will be a team competition on the large hill in Zhangjiakou. We invite you to follow the live coverage on Sport.pl and in the Sport.pl LIVE application.
