Norway Penalized for Illegal Ski Testing

Norway has been penalized by FIS after a member of the Norwegian support team entered the closed course area for ski testing.

The International Ski Federation (FIS) announced on Sunday that Norway would face sanctions for the incident where a person from the Norwegian support team accessed the stadium after the course had been closed. Norway apologized for the error.

The punishment means Norway will have one less track vest available until after the team sprint on Wednesday. Finnish skier Iivo Niskanen had previously expressed his reaction to Norway allegedly being in a restricted area.
