Norway Parts Ways with Three Ski Jumping Officials Amid Cheating Investigation

The Norwegian Ski Federation terminated contracts with three ski jumping officials on Thursday over equipment manipulation.
The officials allegedly modified athletes' suits to improve air performance, violating competition rules and prompting an investigation.
Coach Magnus Brevig, along with his aide Thomas Lobben and team member Adrian Livelten, are under suspicion, with Brevig and Livelten caught on film in March tampering with the athletes' suits.
On March 10, the Federation announced that they believed the gear had been intentionally tampered with, breaching FIS rules to secure a competitive edge.
The terminations aim to end the matter swiftly, allowing athletes to focus on Olympic preparation while the FIS investigation continues.
