Journalists commenting on the X platform expressed satisfaction at the decisions made by FIS to disqualify Norwegian ski jumpers Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang due to improper suits. Lindvik, in particular, lost his silver medal because of this ruling.

As a result of Lindvik’s disqualification, Ryoyu Kobayashi now moves up to receive the bronze medal and Jan Hoerl will be awarded silver. The decision has been viewed as a significant event in ski jumping, suggesting that FIS has taken a firm stance against manipulation.

Tomasz Hatta from Igol.pl remarked, "The protests were worth it. Bravo, for a moment faith in this discipline has been restored." Many others made similar comments emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the ruling.

Łukasz Jachimiak from Sport.pl noted, "The disqualification of Lindvik and Forfang shows that FIS had no choice but to act. It highlights the magnitude of manipulation involved."

Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang's disqualifications for manipulating their suits have created a stir in the skiing community, raising questions about the legitimacy of competitions and the fairness of results, particularly during such a prestigious event as the world championships.
