"Professional ski jumpers are artificially enlarging the genital area before official measurements by using substances such as hyaluronic acid — sometimes placed in a silicone, condom-like sleeve..."

"... to boost crotch dimensions.... The enlarged genital area allows athletes to wear a slightly bigger ski jumping suit that generates more lift and improve aerodynamic.... The crotch measurement is taken from the lowest point of an athlete’s genitals.... 'If you manage to move that point downward, you automatically get more surface area on the suit.... Norwegian ski jumper Halvor Egner Granerud ... said that while being warm during measurements can matter, the notion of injecting substances into the penis to gain an advantage 'sounds extreme' and is not something he believes is happening in the sport."

From "Ski jumping rocked by ‘penis-gate’ claims athletes manipulated genitals for aerodynamic edge" (NY Post).

Such a bloggable headline. Once seen, this post was inevitable. It is not the result of my trying to get 2 Norway posts in a row, but that's what I've got.

Speaking of penis manipulation and the Olympics, I see, via Grok:

In ancient Greece, male athletes, actors, and performers used a device called a kynodesmē—a leather thong or string tied around the foreskin to pull the penis upward and restrict its movement during physical activities. This not only prevented exposure (considered immodest) but also aimed to elongate the foreskin for aesthetic and functional reasons in competitive or public settings, aligning with cultural ideals of a smaller, controlled penis symbolizing civilization and restraint. In contrast to modern preferences, large penises were often mocked in art and theater as barbaric.
