"Elite ski jumpers are aware of the advantage and have already crotch-rocketed to scandal with related schemes. Last year, two Norwegian Olympic medalists, Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang, and three of their team officials were charged with cheating after an anonymous video showed the head coach and suit technician illegally restitching the crotch area of the two jumpers' suits to make them larger. The jumpers received a three-month suspension, while the head coach, an assistant coach, and the technician faced a harsher 18-month ban."
"Injections are alleged to be a new, more drastic strategy. Rumors that jumpers were internally padding their peckers first came to light in January, when German newspaper Bild reported that there were "whispers" of jumpers using hyaluronic acid or possibly paraffin injections. Bild quoted Dr. Kamran Karim, a specialist at Maria-Hilf Hospital in Krefeld, Germany, as saying (translated): "There is the possibility of obtaining a temporary, optical thickening of the penis with the injection of paraffin or hyaluronic acid.""
As the 2026 Olympic Winter Games begin, claims say male ski jumpers inject their penises with fillers to gain flight advantages. A larger bulge on required 3D body scans could yield extra fabric in jumpsuits, increasing surface area and glide. A 2025 simulation found every 2 cm of extra fabric could raise drag by 4 percent and lift by 5 percent, translating to 5.8 extra meters. Two Norwegian medalists and three officials were suspended last year after suits were illegally restitched to enlarge crotch areas. German reports mention whispers of hyaluronic acid or paraffin injections, and a medical specialist said injections can temporarily thicken the penis.
