Hörl takes bronze: speculation about suit manipulation in Trondheim!

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Jan Hörl made an impressive statement by winning the bronze medal on the large hill. This is his fourth medal in this competition, adding to Austria's impressive tally of eight medals in total. However, this achievement came with a stale aftertaste, as the discussion about alleged suit tampering by the Norwegian athletes overshadowed the event. The Austrian Ski Association together with Slovenia and Poland protested against the participation of the Norwegian athletes, which raised suspicions of irregularities.

On the last day of the competition, only the 50 km cross-country skiing is on the program, although Teresa Stadlober has an outside chance of winning a medal. However, the competition was not without controversy: While the Norwegian team management vehemently denied the allegations, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal was disqualified after the first round because of an irregular suit. Also reported in this regard salzburg.ORF.at, which analyzed the incident and its consequences for the Norwegian team.
