During the Saturday competition on the large hill, the Finnish expert on ski jumping, hiding under the pseudonym Ononalka, published a photo of Karl Geiger’s suit, which compromised the Germans, which in the final classification was 4.1 points ahead of him and won a bronze medal. It is evident that Geiger’s wear is far too big.
“You don’t have to check a Geiger to know it’s not okay.”
The jumpsuit scandal caused quite a stir in the ski jumping community. A lot of people have already spoken about the equipment combinations of the Germans, including some jumpers. He reacted sharply on Instagram, among others Russian Dani Sadriejew. On Sunday, the American Kevin Bickner i. Their reactions were quite telling.
– Yes, I saw it. This is absurd. Each team operates on the limit of the rules, but you have to set that limit first. You don’t need to check Geiger to know it’s not ok, the American admitted.
The photo was also shown to Kubacki. – What do you think about that? the journalist will ask. – What will I do for you? – answered the jumper. – You don’t want to say anything so that it won’t be taken out later? the journalist continued. – What am I going to tell you? Do you have eyes? – Kubacki asks. – I do, but I am asking for the opinion of the world’s leading jumper.

Despite the great confusion, none of the teams decided to lodge an official protest. – The fact that the coaches can discuss such topics with each other does not mean that they will go immediately and file protests. Geiger’s suit was in check. If it were too big, the German would be disqualified. After the competition, the first three are taken for control anyway. There is nothing to see here – Malik will explain.
Fans can not understand anyway, how with such a Geiger suit he could get through the control. “Maybe it’s because their suits have a different fit. It doesn’t break the rules. They are all monitored on an ongoing basis – said Fabian Malik.
