The next act in the ski jumping mega-scandal: after just one stop, the teams have to take care of the transportation of the suits themselves again. Meanwhile, the duel for the big crystal globe between Daniel Tschofenig and Jan Hörl continues to come to a head.

The World Ski Federation (FIS) wanted to crack down after the suit scandal at the World Championships in Trondheim. The suits were confiscated in Oslo and were only to be issued for competitions. Athletes receive their suits 30 minutes before the competition and must return them 30 minutes after the end of the competition. At least that was the case for ski flying in Vikersund.
