Norwegian news states that the Bogota races and a race in Turkey weren't done right meaning that those qualified through those races shouldn't have been so!

What do they mean with 'not done right'?

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Stopping the automatic timing and using handtiming. From what I understand, the handtiming purposely made the time differences smaller.

Well, only one way to find out. Do you happen to have a link to something about it? I can't find it on NRK :p

By the way, perfect example of why the whole FIS points system absolutely sucks monkey balls in both cross-country skiing and alpine skiing.

Reading this article, I only see this timing issue about the race in Turkey, which was proven because it was recorded on camera by mobile phone. But nothing about Bogota?

you're right. But they do state that the Bogota results shouldn't have been counted.

But I see no reason for that being mentioned, other than just 7 people being there (which has nothing to do with cheating, but with FIS having shitty rules).

The way I understand it, they suspect that the same happened in Bogota

In Bogota they did actually finish close to each other, unlike what apparently happened in Turkey according to the video of the race.
