Without ground contact – altaposten.no

Ski World Cup became a folk party in Granåsen. However, there is a precarious danger that what is remembered from the championship is cheating and manipulation in the Norwegian jump camp.

This time in the sewing room, where the support system has found that they should « optimize » the results in a creative way, preferably without having the rule book lying next to the sewing machine.

It is obviously about making a jumping suit that gives the effect to flight grains, but we think that this hunt for details is often about a sports culture without ground contact.

For a long time, we have been surprised that a sudden jumpers are being sent out of competitions due to wrong jumping suits, which indicates that the rules must be dysfunctional.

It is worse, however, that trainers and apparatus are taken on the peach in cheating. It is not just someone who has become blind, here you have been buzzing with the moral and ethical compass. Then it can go far to the ground, but you really end up on the ball. Without style characters.

Whether there are spinnville rules that need to be renewed or whether the discipline is evaporated in unhealthy equipment hunting, there is no matter a need for a good, old -fashioned round wash in the camp.

On a regular basis, we are disappointed by sports leaders and athletes who are willing to take shortcuts for results, fame and count in the bank account.

It violates the rules and ideals of the sport – but can also give track wounds for the confidence the audience has to both athletes and sports as such. The same goes for those who sponsor the sport-and the decisive TV revenue crumbles quickly if the sport itself does not join its living.

In conclusion, it is important to include that even profiled athletes and sports leaders deserve a certain legal protection, that is, thorough investigations must be carried out with the necessary seriousness – and that it is not reasonable to cut everyone over a comb.

This is precisely why it is important that rules, rules and unhealthy culture are followed up by the will and ability to clean up. The big loser right now is the jumping gate and maybe skiing, and that crisis hardly disappears by itself.

There are both concessions and self -recognition. It is a kind of beginning, but had it happened without video evidence?
