Ski Jumping Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Road to Milano Cortina 2026

I understand that the last 4 spots go to 4 different NOCs because "only the NOCs with 1 or 0 athletes (...) will be allocated an additional quota place the NOC to participate in Individual or Men's/Mixed Team competitions". But I'll ask a copy editor I know if the wording is too ambiguous.

oh I see, so because China were already allocated one quota during the final process it should go to someone else? That makes sense thanks.

That's what they also had said. 4 quotas per D.2, each for a different NOC.

Sounds like Norway might be banned from Ski Jumping.

Interesting. Quite the controversy.

 

I’ve listened to some interviews in the past, and they had casually mentioned the Norwegians were kinda notorious for the suit manipulations… guess they still are

Don’t bother feeding a troll, it’s not worth it.

A lengthy ban on the Norwegian team would only be fair in this case.

You can't treat it as collective responsibility. Lindvik has already been punished, because he lost his silver medal on the large hill. In my opinion, the Austrians are cheating the most and they are now pretending to be saints. It's a good thing that Prevc from Slovenia won, rather than some Austrian after a dsq for Lindvik, which was probably what Austria was counting on.

What is the exact thing Austria is supposed to be cheating with? We know what the Norwegians did (including video evidence).

Austria started this ski jumping arms race at the beginning of the 21 century, that continues to this day. I'm sure they bend the rules all the time, and when someone else does something similar, like Norway now, or Ammann in Vancouver 2010, they're the first to attack others. This video also came from them - they gave it to the polish journalist so as not to directly connect Austria with this action. I think this is not the end and there will be further actions and provocations, because Norway and the group of countries standing with it: the USA and Estonia will not forgive Austria for making this illegal video public.
