  • Two Norwegian ski jumpers have been disqualified from an event at the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships after their suits were found to have been manipulated.

The Norwegian ski team has admitted to attempting to gain an unfair advantage by manipulating their ski suits for the World Championships event. According to reports, the team tried to alter the suits to reduce air resistance, which would theoretically allow skiers to go faster. This manipulation came to light after officials noticed irregularities in the suits during a pre-race check. The International Ski Federation (FIS) confirmed that the suits in question did not comply with the regulations, leading to the disqualification of some athletes. This incident has sparked a debate on sportsmanship and the lengths to which teams might go to secure a competitive edge, highlighting issues of integrity in competitive skiing.
