Igor Medved, the head coach of Finland's ski jumping team, has been sent home from the Olympic Games for alcohol-related incidents that occurred during Slovenia's gold medal celebration. The event took place on Tuesday night in Predazzo, where Medved reportedly consumed an excessive amount of alcohol while celebrating Slovenia's victory in the mixed team event, leading to concerns among those present. Reports from insiders suggest that Medved's drinking habits escalated to the point where he became visibly intoxicated during the celebrations.

Despite being described as not violent or aggressive, witnesses noted that Medved's state was far from dignified, and he was observed to be very drunk. His behavior has raised questions about his professional conduct and the implications it could have for the Finnish ski jumping team and their performance at the Olympics. Medved's coaching has been significant for many of Slovenia's top ski jumpers, as he previously led the country's B team, and this incident may have repercussions for his career and the reputation of the team he currently represents.

As Finland continues its quest for Olympic success, the focus will now be on how this situation affects the team's morale and preparation for upcoming competitions. Medved’s actions may not only influence his personal career but could also impact the overall strategy and performance of the Finnish ski jumping team at this crucial event.
