For Michael Jordan<\/a>, it had to be the shoes. But for an Olympic ski jumper on Sunday, it was his boots that proved to be consequential for his time at the 2026 Winter Games.<\/p>\n

Austrian ski jumper Daniel Tschofenig came into the Milan Cortina Games as one of the favorites to possibly take a gold medal<\/a> in large hill ski jumping after he won a World Cup gold medal during the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n

Tschofenig, however, was disqualified from the event as his boots didn\u2019t meet Olympic requirements. His boots were four millimeters over the standard.<\/p>\n

“I used new shoes in training, which, by the way, I wasn’t very happy with, but I kept them,” he told AFP<\/a>. “Unfortunately, I was naive and didn’t check the sizes. That was incredibly stupid of me.”<\/p>\n

The penalty was issued after he qualified for the finals.<\/p>\n

Slovenia\u2019s Domen Prevc picked up a gold medal in the event with a total of 301.8 points. Japan\u2019s Ren Nikaido<\/a> attained the silver and Poland\u2019s Kacper Tomasiak got the bronze.<\/p>\n

Tschofenig\u2019s Austrian teammate Jan Horl finished in fifth place.<\/p>\n

It will be back to the World Cup and training for the 2030 Games for Tschofenig now. He has more than 20 podium finishes in World Cup competitions and was among the medalists for team events in the World Championships in 2025 and 2023.<\/p>\n
