Wellinger insists on clear consequences in the ski jump scandal!

Trondheim, Norwegen - Andreas Wellinger, the ski jump Olympic champion, took second place at the Nordic World Ski World Championships in Trondheim last Sunday, behind the Norwegian Marius Lindvik. In an emotional Instagram video message, Wellinger expressed wistful thoughts about the competitions and the tight decisions that the team made.

The competition was overshadowed by a heavy scandal: Marius Lindvik was disqualified on Saturday due to a manipulated suit in the big hill till. As a result of this incident, the associations from Slovenia, Poland and Austria called for the cancellation of all results of the World Cup. The FIS, the world association for this sport, has so far rejected this claim.

allegations of manipulation and possible consequences

Wellinger has commented on the manipulation allegations and expressed that the incidents leave a thread after a taste and raise many questions. The ski jumper called for drastic consequences if it turns out that the Norwegian team is more systematic. An anonymous video shows how Norwegian athletes allegedly change their ski jumps illegally.

If the results are still canceled, Wellinger could subsequently be appointed world champion in the discipline on the normal hill, which the situation is also complicated. The developments related to the World Cup not only raise questions about fairness in the competition, but could also have a lasting impact on trust in the integrity of ski jumping.
