Ski jumping is in the news this Olympic cycle after rumors that male competitors may be cheating in order to wear larger suits. In particular, the suggestion is that male athletes are injecting fillers into their genitals before their pre-season 3D body scan in order to appear large enough to allow them to wear a larger suit. This comes after two Norwegian ski jumpers were punished for illegally restitching the crotches of their suits to make them larger.

Ski jumping is a sport that relies heavily on aerodynamics; during the flight phase, jumpers try to maximize their lift-to-drag ratio so that they stay aloft as long as possible. A 2025 study underscores the importance of suit size in this calculus. In the work, the researchers used a baseline suit that was 4 centimeters larger in circumference than their jumper–the loosest configuration that regulations allow. They compared that suit’s flight performance (in wind tunnels and simulation) to a suit 2 cm larger and one 2 cm smaller. The extra 2 centimeters of circumference made a notable difference: the larger suit increased the drag by ~4% and lift by ~5%. That was enough, in their simulation, to let a jumper fly an extra 5.8 meters.

It’s worth noting, though, that the study was looking at the effects of adjusting the suit’s circumference along the entire length between the arm pits and the knees; they never changed anything about the suit’s crotch. I don’t think there’s enough scientific data to say that packing a bit more there would really offer aerodynamic advantages. And the risks of such injections are non-negligible. (Image credit: T.

Dobry wieczór. Coś się... coś się popsuło i nie było mnie słychać, to powtórzę jeszcze raz. Noty dla Anny Twardosz to jest jakaś porażka, ja myślę że to FIS–owskie, kurwa głupie jury, te kurwa banda imbecyli którzy oceniali skok Polki to jest jakieś kurwa nieporozumienie

Why is ski jumping always the source of the most absolutely bonkers stuff at the Olympics.

And did the writer *really* need this paragraph? Really!?

"A study published by ⁠scientific journal Frontiers suggested a small change in fit can have real consequences once an athlete leaves the ramp, with computer modeling showing an extra 2.8 metres in jump length for each extra centimetre of fabric.”

lol ohhhkaaay.

Anti-doping chiefs at the Winter Olympics said on Thursday they would investigate bizarre claims that Olympic ski jumpers are injecting hyaluronic acid into their penises to get a competitive advantage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/02/06/olympics-wada-penis-injections/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #wada #skijumping #2026milanocortinaolympics #witoldbanka
