Scandal at the Ski World Cup: Norway's ski jumper confessed!

A huge scandal shakes the Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim: Norway's sports director Jan Erik Aalbu admitted in a press conference that the Norwegian ski jumping team illegally set and acted fraudulently. Aalbu, who spoke in the team hotel during the press conference, said: "We cheated," and made it clear that the jumpers themselves knew nothing about the manipulations of their suits. But the athletes' appearances were anything but honest, as the sports director had to admit. These revelations come according to the significant success of the Norwegians who are suspected of illegally improving their services.

The manipulations consisted of the fact that the seams of the suits were reinforced with solid material, which increased the stiffness of the suits and ultimately supported the jumping ability of the jumper. This inadmissible technology led to the disqualification of three athletes, including the second -placed Marius Lindvik and the fifth -placed Johann Andre Forfang. However, the head coach Brevig, who was seen in a video that documented the manipulations, was not present when AalBu made his explanations. These serious accusations throw a dark light on the integrity of the competition and the responsibility within the Norwegian team, as well as the Br24 reported.
