Ski jumping is the dumbest sport out there. There are points for style which is arbitrary and already takes it down couple of levels compared with real sports. Weight is super important so the 'athletes' are all starving all the time. Wind has a big influence so they have to guess when gust will happen but since it changer during the day judges will arbitrarily change the length of runway at different points of the competition. It's barely fair. And on top of that the suit has such a huge influence that the jumpers can't even touch it after they were certified. Like they literally can't touch the suit they are wearing because just changing how it adjust to the body will affect the score. And now we learned that adding 1cm to the length of the suit have such a big influence that they will inject stuff in their dicks to get an advantage. This 'sport' is more about starving yourself, having luck and finding ways to cheat the rules then it is about athleticism.
