281. This is the number of disqualifications news has found for jumpers from all nations, men and women, in the World Cup and during the Olympics and the World Cup, for unregulated suits for the last five seasons. In addition, there are 35 disqualifications for other equipment and six that are without a clearly defined rule burden. In total, this means 322 disqualifications of five seasons associated with equipment. – It’s a high number, but it’s not a number that surprises me. It is very common to have one, two or three disqualifications in a competition. That is part of the sport, says American Kevin Bickner. Norway Tronar Øverst USA is number two on the list of nations with the most disqualifications in the last five seasons in news’s survey, with a total of 30 disqualifications. The top is Norway with 36, among others, thanks to this year’s World Cup. There, Norway accounted for five of the seven disqualifications of the championship in jumping, including the disqualifications of Johann André Forfang and Marius Lindvik as triggered the jump scandal who have marked the last week. Most disqualifications due to equipment in the last five seasons Norway – 36 USA – 30 Japan – 28 Austria – 24 Slovenia – 23 news asked more jumping profiles about the over 300 disqualifications for all nations during the qualifying in Vikersund on Friday. – I think there are quite a few, but sometimes it is also necessary. A disqualification means that the equipment controller does a good job and is careful. I think it has always been and will always be part of our sport. We may change something with the rules, but it will always be part of our sport, says Polish Maciej Kot. – In an ideal world, it would not be any disqualifications and everyone had competed in equal equipment. It would be ideal, because the only disqualification is bad for the sport, for the practitioner and the team. But I do not think it is possible, because we are just a human and a human being wrong, Kot says. – We try to be on the border with the equipment. If not, one is bypassed. Sometimes you may think that the suit is safe and then you may not be enough for lunch, says Bickner. Disqualifications season for season 2020/11 season: 65 (37 in men and 28 in the women) 2021/22 season: 59 (35 in men and 24 in women) 2022/23 season: 57 (37 in men and 20 in women) 2023/24 season: 69 (49 Alno and 12 in the men and the 12th sits)) The women) – Must be more Slovenian Timi Zajc, who became number three in the qualification with a jump of 230 meters, first draws on his shoulders when he hears the speech. Before he replies: – I believe that in the future there must be more disqualifications. – More? Isn’t that enough now? – I do not know, but we see that there are some suits that do not comply with the rules now, says Zajc – who became world champion in Storbakken in Planica in 2023. Poland’s coach: – One part of the ski jumping coach for the Polish national team, Thomas Thurnbichler, think it is a lot of action that The time period. – That’s part of what we do. We try to be on the border, he says, and continued: – All of us who join here know that there can be a disqualification. For those practitioners, it is not nice in that eye blink, but I do not think there is a single jumper here that has not been disca. It is part of ski jumping, and that is not a problem, he says. Coach: Austrian Thomas Thurnbichler is a coach for the Polish national team. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB – Should FIS do something to get a sport where one does not have so many disqualifications? – It should be the goal that we have so few disqualifications as possible. This I think will be part of the next process to discuss, says the coach. – Difficult to say Fredrik Villumstad was the only Norwegian men’s jumper to reach the final round in Holmenkollen on Thursday and also advanced from the qualifying in Vikersund on Friday. -I promise you that you will not win the 100-meter in sprint if you are absolutely sure that you do not start. Then you did not bother to line up. It is so in all sports. Someone has it on the equipment front. Others on timing. It varies from sports to sports, but it is, he says. – Do you think you jumps have received incredible lots of criticism the last few days? – Yes, I know a little about it, he says after a few seconds of thinking. About the over 300 disqualifications, he answers: – I have zero views on how we can compare it, and whether it is a high or low number. In Formula 1 there are disqualifications as well, but there you have 20 drivers and 24 races. It is clear that we want a higher number, but whether it is larger or less relatively relatively difficult to say. Also in combined, many disqualifications have been seen, most recently in Holmenkollen Friday: Think the jump scandal can have a positive effect in the Norwegian camp, Sports Manager Jan-Erik Aalbu has really been in the spotlight in recent days. – No disqualifications are good for jumping sports, he says. – This has been very common. Every single weekend there are mostly one or two disqualifications. It also says a little about the fact that FIS and all other member nations must look at the regulations, says Aalbu. In the said FIS, Sandro Pertile is head of jumping. – Our job is to keep up the border through our controls. If we have disqualifications, it is because someone is trying to cross the border. It is an individual decision to break the rules and then everyone must accept the consequences, says Pertile. – Do you think the whole situation with the Norwegian team can lead to a better future for ski jumping? – Absolutely, he replies in cash and smiling. But are the last days of jump scandal a problem for Norwegian ski jumping or international jumping sports? We ask the multifaceted Olympic and World Cup winner Kamil Stoch. “Who is suspended,” he asks humming. – The Norwegians. – Yes, but the Norwegians are practitioners, right? Ski jumpers. So this is a problem for all of us. Published 15.03.2025, at. 10.40
