- AT the World Championships in Trondheim, Slovenia's Domen Prevc wins gold on the large hill after winning gold on the small hill.
- Gregor Deschwanden is the best Swiss athlete in 9th place.
- Simon Ammann missed out on qualifying for the final.
Prevc, who was already ahead after the first round, won with jumps of 138 and 140.5 meters ahead of Norway's Marius Lindvik and Austria's Jan Hörl.
Domen and Nika Prevc won another medal together in addition to the two titles in the individual competitions in Trondheim. They were both part of the Slovenian team that took silver in the mixed team competition.
Deschwanden in 9th place - Ammann misses the final
Gregor Deschwanden was the best Swiss athlete in 9th place after flights of 129 and 133.5 meters. The Lucerne native was unable to get involved in the battle for the medals. He missed out on 3rd place by 19 points.
Of the Swiss quartet, Killian Peier and Yanick Wasser also reached the final round. The Vaud native and the St. Gallen native from the Linth region took 22nd and 26th place in the final ranking. Simon Ammann missed out on qualifying for the final with the best 30 jumpers. The former champion found himself in 35th place in the intermediate ranking.
Accusations of cheating against the Norwegian team
The last competition of the ski jumpers at these World Championships was accompanied by accusations of manipulation against the Norwegian team. Secret film footage shot by a Polish journalist shows jumpsuits being sewn back together after being dismantled. The delegation leaders of Austria, Slovenia and Poland therefore lodged a protest with the International Ski Federation (FIS) against the admission of the local athletes to the competition.
The FIS stated that the procedure was unusual, but not prohibited. "There is no passage in the regulations for this," explained Christian Kathol, responsible for material control on behalf of the FIS. Kathol described the fact that jump suits are opened again and sewn back together after being inspected by the FIS as a "normal process, because the suits have to be adjusted to the daily body size".
