Notes

Lillehammer 1994 – ski jump suit worn by Jean-Yves CUENDET (SUI). This suit was tested by the 1994 Swiss Nordic combined team and subsequently given to them by sportswear company Descente. The colourful design is very much of its time and does not seem to have met with opposition from any of the athletes. Purchased as part of the Swiss Sports Museum liquidation sale
