The ski jumping world was rocked by a cheating scandal involving the Norwegian team during the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway. The scandal initially implicated four members of the Norwegian team, including coach Magnus Brevig and Olympic gold medalist Marius Lindvik. However, the controversy has now expanded to include several more athletes, leading to provisional suspensions by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS). The suspensions are due to suspicions of illegal manipulation of ski suits to enhance performance.
In response to the scandal, the FIS has taken action to investigate the equipment used by all Team Norway athletes. While no irregularities were found in the equipment used by other teams, the FIS raised additional suspicions of manipulation in the men’s jumping suits. The FIS Secretary General, Michel Vion, expressed disappointment and noted that a thorough investigation is ongoing to ensure fairness and due process.
The implications of this scandal are significant for the world of ski jumping, as it casts a shadow on the integrity of the sport and raises questions about fair competition. The FIS is committed to addressing the issue and holding those responsible for cheating accountable. As the investigation continues, the ski jumping community awaits further developments in this unfolding scandal.
