The focus: Norway's ski jumper: Is the season canceled to scandal?

Norway will continue to be represented in the World Cup. After intensive discussions with the athletes, sports director Jan-Erik Aalbu decided to set up a team for the remaining competitions in Lahti and Planica. Initially, Aalbu considered not sending the team to the FIS due to the suspends of five athletes and three supervisors. "There is no doubt that you have fancy more," said Aalbu, who referred to the positive experiences of a young team at an international level after starting in Vikersund href = "https://www.laola1.at/de/red/wintersport/skispringen/news/rueckzug-aus-skisprung-weltcup--norweger-dieben/"> laola1.at reports .

The situation remains tense. In an interview with NRK, Aalbu did not even rule out a possible complete termination of the Norwegian ski jumper. "In any case, we have to think about what the best for the athletes is," said Aalbu. The two top jumpers Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang are temporarily suspended due to the scandal, which gives the Norwegian team considerable difficulties. Fredrik Villumstad, who is supposed to master the leap before the further competition, is looking forward to the upcoming challenges, but the discussion about a voluntary retreat remains in the room, reports Sport1.de .
