For a sustained period, the Norwegian ski jumpers have held a dominant position within the World Cup rankings.

However, discussions have emerged regarding potential strategies to challenge their sustained success. Suggestions have been made that the International Ski Federation (FIS) could broaden its support to encompass a wider range of athletes. Specifically, there’s a proposal to prioritize not solely the established “hot” performers within the norwegian team, but also provide increased backing for other competitors.

The debate centers around the possibility of limiting the oxygen advantage enjoyed by the leading world ski jumping teams. The FIS is currently evaluating these recommendations as part of ongoing efforts to maintain a competitive and balanced landscape within the sport.
