"Wrong Choice of Words" - Accusations Against Austrian Ski Jumpers: Lundby "Regrets Statements"

Maren Lundby has apologized for her wording regarding the ÖSV eagles, as she perceived accusations of cheating against the Austrian team. Lundby acknowledged that while the Austrians might have found a legal advantage in setup and materials, she should not have insinuated malpractice. The former ski jumper expressed regret over her choice of words, particularly describing the situation as "sick." In future, she promised to be more careful with her language, acknowledging that many had criticized her statements. She intended to convey that the Austrians seemed to have discovered something that gives them an edge over rivals. Lundby affirmed that this approach must be allowed since no one has been disqualified nor failed equipment checks. She concluded that while the Austrians consistently perform well, it is also evident they have an effective setup, which piques her interest in what methods they adopted to jump so effectively.
