The inaugural mixed team ski jumping event failed to stick the landing in its Olympic debut.
Opseth noted that she wore the same suit that she wore in the mixed competition two days earlier in the women’s normal hill event, but was not disqualified in the individual event.“I think they checked it in a new way today compared to what they had done previously, I think it’s very strange that they would suddenly change how they do it in the middle of a tournament,” she said. “I don’t know what to say. I’m really just shaken. I’m sorry that I was disqualified today.
“This is a parody, but I am not laughing ... It is outrageous that this happens with the four biggest ski-jump nations,” Horst Huttel, Germany’s head of Nordic events, told Reuters. “I don’t think this is a bittersweet medal at all. I think it’s as sweet as a medal can come,” Canadian team member Abigail Strate told reporters, according to Toronto's“Equipment is very important in sport and disqualifications happen. It’s a very common thing to happen in ski jumping and the fact that it happened at the Olympics just goes to show that they were taking the rules pretty strictly and seriously because it is the absolute highest level of sport,” Strate added.
