– Due to the warm weather in recent days, the snow in the upper part of the trail has unfortunately disappeared. This means that we have to shorten the trail. Stefan Marx is the general manager of the Holmenkollen ski festival. Stefan Marx hopes the folk party can be held, free of intoxication, inside the area.

This means that they hope the feast, which usually takes place in the field around the Frognerseteren, will not be anything. Every year, they invite to a public party to see, among other things, five miles. In recent years, the party has ended up in a wild feast, which ends in scandal headings: – It is cramped and slightly rough terrain. There we would rather not have the type of party that we have seen in recent years, he says. Must change the entire trail in May last year, five miles in Holmenkollen this year were scrapped. Instead, Lahti will arrange a 50 kilometer in the World Cup two weeks after the World Cup in Granåsen. FIS has not wanted a new and power -intensive five -mile week after the runners have been out at the same distance in the World Cup. Therefore, it will be set up: 20 kilometers of joint start in free technique on Saturday. 10 kilometers classic with individual start on Sunday. -The trails will not go in the usual areas where the Marka audience has previously gathered. Marx hopes it will help reduce the feast. The ski festival invites you to the drug -free event inside the ticketed area. – Bring the music, make Markafest in there, says Marx. Are you going to Kollen this weekend? No, won’t be any fun without five miles! No, get it with me on TV yes, must bring me the party in the field! Show results Close cooperation with the police and the boroughs Last year, the organizers went offensively. The police and outdoor contacts in several Oslo West districts wanted parents to get on the field. They asked parents to take a serious party with their youth before the party started. As a result, up to 50 people were expelled from the area during the event. Five people were subsequently notified for, among other things, bodily injury and disorderly disorder. In 2018, the ski festival consisted of fights, power damage, queues, and fill. The organizer and the police will avoid the same situations. Turned the program on its head It is not just that five miles are scrapped. The traditional Sunday race for the jumpers in Holmenkollen this year has moved from Sunday to Thursday. It remains to be seen what happens to the Norwegian men’s team after the weekend’s scandal. JOP SCAND: This has happened on Friday night, national team coach Magnus Brevig and tailor Adrian Livelten sneaked sneaked while sitting behind closed curtains at the Norwegian Systue during the World Cup at home. The video shows that approved jumping suits were dismantled and manipulated, as a violation of the rules. Photo: Screenshot @jakubbalcerski / X Video clip quickly found its way to foreign jumpers and media, and Poland, Austria and Slovenia joined forces to put in a protest against Norway. It was initially rejected, but after the World Cup competition, where Marius Lindvik thought he had jumped down to the silver medal at home, the International Ski Federation (FIS) went to work more thoroughly. They opened the jumping suits and found that a stiffer material was sewn into the seams, which can give the suits better aircraft skills. It is illegal. Both Johann André Forfang and Marius Lindvik were therefore washed. Photo: Anders England / news Jump manager Jan-Erik Aalbu and national team coach Magnus Brevig met the press after the disc. Both rejected it was cheating. Photo: Terje Pedersen / news The morning after the disclosure of Norway’s manipulation of jumping suits, FIS came up with the news that they are opening an investigation against Norway. On Sunday afternoon, jump manager Aalbu met the press again. Then he admitted that it was a conscious cheating. At the same time, he said that he had not known about it, and that this was going to have consequences. National team coach Brevig, who was in the video, was not at the press conference. Photo: Erlend Lånke Solbu / news Forfang and Lindvik sent out a press release on Sunday night stating that they were completely crushed, that they would never have jumped with the suits if they knew they were manipulated and that they had full confidence in the support system. On Monday morning, Help, long -time partner with the Norwegian jump, announced that they withdraw from the agreement with immediate effect. -It goes without saying that it is not compatible to have our logo on the suits of a team that cheats, wrote communications director Dag Are Børresen in an e-mail to news. On Monday afternoon, the Norwegian Ski Federation sent out a press release with information that Magnus Brevig and Adrian Livelten have been suspended from their positions with immediate effect. The reason was that the information that has emerged in the case is so serious that it provides the basis for the suspension of the employment conditions. Monday afternoon, the jump national team’s largest sponsor, Nammo, sent out a press release, where they come with strong criticism. They write that Nammo’s agreement with the Norwegian Ski Federation (NSF) has not been terminated, but that their logo will not appear on the national team for the time being. 16.23 Updated 10.03.2025, at. 16.28
