During a press convention, Jan-Erik Aalbu, the final supervisor (GM) of the Norwegian Ski Federation, freely acknowledged that the adjustments had been deliberate.

“The support system has explained that, on Friday, they chose to put a reinforced thread in the jumpsuit of Forfang and Lindvik,” Aalbu stated. “This was done knowing that this is not within the regulations, but with a belief that it would not be discovered by FIS’ equipment controller.”

Aalbu was not diplomatic, confessing, “The way I look at this, we’ve cheated. We’ve attempted to cheat the system. That’s unacceptable.” He additionally defined that the athletes employed the tampered fits solely through the males’s giant hill competitors and never for different occasions through the championships.

FIS Launches Ethics Investigation

After the disqualification, the International Ski Federation (FIS) introduced that an official investigation had been initiated.

Both Forfang and Lindvik went on social media to voice their disappointment and deny knowledge of the suit tampering.

Forfang, who had originally finished in the event before being disqualified, posted his devastation on Instagram. The 2018 team Olympic champion said that he was “past devastated” after his World Championships dreams turned into tragedy.

Forfang also added that he had no idea about the suit modifications, pointing out that there was no procedures to inspect the “finer factors of the work” similar to seams.

Lindvik shared the identical views, describing the occasion as a “nightmare.” The 26-year-old Olympic gold medalist, who originally won silver in the big hill competition before being disqualified, shared his heartbreak.
