Ski Jumping World Cup: Hannawald criticizes bosses for questionable rules!
Excitement at the Ski Jumping World Championships in Trondheim: The discussion about the use of non-compliant suits has reached new dimensions with the critical statements by ski jumping legend Sven Hannawald. The former Four Hills Tournament winner said in an interview that he fears that athletes will be “forced to cheat” in order to survive in the competition. “It’s just frustrating,” said Hannawald, who is in the crown is quoted. The accusation that some athletes jump in oversized suits to gain more buoyancy continues to cause tension. Among the critics is Polish ski jumping star Adam Malysz, who noted that there are “loopholes” in the regulations that are being exploited.
Suit scandal
The situation is coming to a head as the competition in Norway progresses. Hannawald emphasizes that changing suits regularly during the season is not easy and criticizes the FIS for the chaotic regulations. “Someone with six diopters can see that there are suits that shouldn’t be allowed,” he explains. The suit worn by Norwegian Anna Odine Ström has particularly come into the crossfire of criticism; according to Hannawald, its features give it such an advantage that even he would “dare to wear it”. "Give me this suit and I'll even jump again. Then I know nothing can happen to me," said Hannawald, provocatively South Germans reported.
The discussion about the suits not only affects the athletes, but also causes internal strife among the nations. “There is pure mistrust in the circus,” complains Hannawald, both about the allegations between the countries and about the unclear rules of the FIS. If this mess isn't sorted out soon, he'll fear dire scenarios for the upcoming Winter Olympics. The athletes largely hold back from making accusations during the title fights, but the excitement about the questionable suit regulations spreads relentlessly across the entire competition scene.
