US female ski jumper was DQ'd for skis being 1cm too long . That's. 394 . How the heck does that happen ? And who's to blame ? She didn't make the skis . Did quality inspection at the manufacturer miss the incorrect length ? I would think at this level every team/coach has a jig to check the skis . A go/no go test . Very strange .

Who length measurements very from manufacturer to manufacturer.
It is not overall length.

And a men's ski jumper was DQ'd because his boots were 4mm out of spec . He admitted they were new boots and he failed to measure them . His mistake . But he was aware that officials would check the boots .

The favored pairs skaters from Japan just put down an outstanding routine , scoring 231 points ! Their performance was just beautiful. Well done 👏 . I am sure they will win the gold . Unfortunately both US pairs were knocked off the podium

American ski jumper Annika Belshaw was disqualified (DSQ) from the women's large hill individual event at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics because her skis were 1 centimeter too long. The Incident: After advancing to the final with a 98.5-meter jump, the 23-year-old Team USA member was disqualified following a post-jump equipment check, dashing her podium hopes. The Rule: In Olympic ski jumping, maximum ski length is determined by an athlete's body mass index (BMI). Athletes with lower BMIs must use shorter skis, with the maximum length capped at 145% of their height. Context: The DQ occurred on February 15, 2026, one day after a similar equipment violation disqualified Austrian ski jumper Daniel Tschofenig, whose boots were too big. Background: Belshaw was named the 2022 Ski Jumping Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard federation.
