It is an irrefutable fact that my disqualification has changed everyone’s lives.

The person responsible responded, “I was just doing my job.

 

The person in charge responded, “I was just doing my job.” “Apologizing won’t bring back the medal, and I don’t believe I can take responsibility, but I need to think about my future in the sport. I’m deeply sorry for what I’ve done.”

On February 8, Sara Takanashi updated her Instagram, revealing her complicated feelings to her fans and officials after her disqualification in the mixed team event the day before. Along with the pitch-black image, her words released to the public conveyed her regret.

 

The 25-year-old, who led Japan in the mixed team competition, was disqualified after the first vault due to a violation of the suit regulations. Even so, she told everyone around her that swas going to jump until the end, and succeeded in her second jump, but her eyes were filled with large tears.

 

Including Takanashi, who finished the competition with tears in her eyes, there were many people who said that the rules were “too strict” this time, as five competitors were disqualified.

However, Aga Bonczewska, a Pole who was in charge of material control (checking equipment regulations), told the German newspaper Kikcer, “I did not follow any new measurement procedures. I just did my job as before. Their suits were obviously bigger,” he replied crisply.

 

But Blades Braaten, the Norwegian coach who was disqualified by Silje Opset, stressed how different the measurement was this time.

 

Speaking to his native newspaper VG, Braaten explained that in a normal measurement, a player waits with his arm extended 30 centimeters from his body to the side, but on the 7th, he kept his arm above his head. On the 7th, he explained that the player waited for his arm to be stretched out 30 centimeters from the side of his body, but on the 7th, he kept his arm above his head. He also stressed that “there were three people there that day, whereas normally it is done by one person,” and disputed Mr. Bonchivska’s statement that it was “business as usual.

 

We have information that at least five athletes said that they were doing it differently.

 

There has also been criticism from within the International Ski Federation (FIS). Commenting in the Stuttgarter Zeitung, Andreas Bauer, a member of the FIS Material Committee and former German national team coach, declared, “It’s a ski jumping disaster. And he argues.

 

If, as the athletes and coaches are pointing out, the measurement methods have been changed, the teams and coaches must be informed in advance. As far as I’m concerned, that game with the players cowering, crying, and completely distraught is a scandal! On the biggest sporting stage in the world, we should not be showing our players like this. It’s a huge blow to the image of our sport.

 

An unprecedented number of players were disqualified from the team competition for violating the rules. The ripples from the judging continue to spread.
