Ski jumping has been pushed into the spotlight after a whistleblower uncovered a cheating scandal that involves, of all things, crotch manipulation.

You heard right. This is the story of the ski jumping scandal involving crotches, the Olympics and some rumors of... penis injections?!

Ski jumping kicks off at Milan Cortina 2026 with the women's individual normal hill competition. Slovenian Nika Prevc is the heavy favorite to win gold, though Japan could bring the heat.

Anna Odine Stroem of Norway won the Olympic gold medal on the normal hill in women's ski jumping Saturday ahead of Slovenian favorite Nika Prevc.

Additional protocols were implemented following the Norwegian ski team's suit-altering scandal

Salisbury, Conn., has been hosting ski jumping competitions since 1926, when the Satre brothers from Norway brought the sport to Litchfield County.

The Communications Director for the Ski and Snowboard Federation has dismissed claims of ski jumpers getting penile injections as it as 'wild rumor.’

German newspaper Bild first reported on the potential scandal last month. The outlet claims some male skiers may be injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to justify the use of larger suits while competing. Silly as this sounds, the World Anti-Doping Agency isn’t completely dismissing the claims just yet.

Winter Olympic ski jumpers are allegedly artificially inflating the size of their equipment in order to fly further down the slopes. The allegations, first reported in the German newspaper Bild, suggest that male athletes at the games currently happening in Italy are taking needles to their members and filling them with hyaluronic acid.

Nordic combined is an aptly named winter sport in which competitors race in two different Nordic skiing disciplines: cross-country skiing and ski jumping.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has explained why women are banned from competing in Nordic combined at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
