Legends of Ski Jumping Strike Back at Norwegians: Adam Małysz's Great Rival Says He Felt Like Vomiting

— I had to stop reading after the third sentence because I felt like vomiting — says Sven Hannawald when asked about Johann Andre Forfang's statement. Not only Hannawald, but also other legends of the sport show no mercy towards Norwegian jumpers.

After the revelations about the cheating related to the suits worn by Norwegians, ski jumpers took their time before commenting on the issue. When they finally did, they were met with a wave of criticism. Both Johann Andre Forfang and Marius Lindvik stated that they knew nothing about the manipulations.

"This world championship was supposed to fulfill my dreams, but instead it ended tragically. The most important thing for me is to emphasize that I was never aware that my suit had been manipulated. I always trusted the members of the team, who worked hard to make our equipment competitive. This time, boundaries were crossed," wrote Forfang among others.

Ski jumping legend Sven Hannawald didn’t hold back his criticism. "I had to stop reading after the third sentence because I felt nauseous. A jumper who participates in such a sensitive sport, does not notice that his suit is stiffer? That’s nonsense," he candidly remarked.

Andreas Goldberger shares the same view. "You wear the suit every day. If something suddenly changes in it, you have to feel it," the Austrian stated.

Werner Schuster also criticized the head of Norwegian ski jumping, Jan Erik Aalbu: "Anyone who knows anything about ski jumping realizes that his statements are completely unbelievable. The story that only two suits were manipulated that day, and that the athletes knew nothing about it, really angered me," he emphasized.
