Controversy
In the 1993/94 Four Hills Tournament, Ottesen was accused of helping his compatriot Espen Bredesen beat German Jens Weißflog. Weißflog was protecting an 8-point lead before the last jump, and the jumping order was Bredesen – Ottesen – Weißflog. After Bredesen's jump, Ottesen delayed his jump and was disqualified. The wind conditions being worsened, Weißflog lost 20 points on his last jump, lost the tourney and complained of foul play afterwards.[1]
