Originally published in Przegląd Sportowy on March 11, 2025

In an interview with Skijumping.pl, Steinar Bjerkmann, the media coordinator for the Norwegian Ski Federation, confirmed that the Raw Air tournament will take place as planned. He stated that Norwegian ski jumpers will compete in the tournament, with the lineup for the home team set to be announced later today.

The first event under the Raw Air series is scheduled for Thursday, with competitions in Oslo beginning at 5:00 PM, preceded by a prologue at 3:45 PM.

This follows ongoing discussions surrounding a scandal related to the suits worn by Norwegian ski jumpers, leading to investigations by the FIS and several sponsors pulling out of agreements with the Norwegian Federation. As of now, it remains uncertain what consequences the Norwegian team might face beyond the disqualifications that occurred recently.
